Hi Adrian

I *think* Word greys out the listnum name when it thinks that list template
is in use for a field. It could well be that if it has ever been in use in a
document that it remains greyed out. Or it could reflect a document
corruption - I have certainly had that happen in documents that only use
paragraph numbering, and it was associated with zombie list templates that
did not appear as part of the LT collection (or at least, didn't match on
name) but then the name was declared to be in use when I tried to create a
new one via VBA.

Since you can never actually delete list templates from a document, my
advice would be to start from a fresh document, newly made from either a
known good previous version of the template or from a nice clean Normal.dot.

It's probably worth the effort of recreating the styles - or at least any
numbered ones - to be confident of a clean start, but if you want to have a
go at saving effort here are a few ideas:

* Organizer should work even for numbered styles if you do the copy 3 times.
If it doesn't work for the bullet/number styles, consider them corrupt and
copy everything else and recreate those.

* Alternatively, strip your old template down to the styles you want, attach
your new fresh document to the template, and update styles from the
template. Then save as a template to break the connection. Again, this may
fail on numbered styles if they aren't set up correctly.

* Third option - prepare dummy text for each style you use in a document
made from the old template. Be sure to strip out any LISTNUM fields. Copy
and paste into new document.

You'll also need to set up your page layout again.

Hope this helps
