Hey there,

I have been playing around with Word 2007 and am curious about your
experiences with automatic numbering. I've heard that certain improvements
have been made but that it doesn't look like numbering has actually been
fixed.

Based a post about list levels on Microsoft's Word Blog I have a suspicion
that it hasn't:
"When you edit a multilevel list, Word creates a copy of the original list
and makes the changes to that copy."

That sounds similar to what causes all the trouble with numbering in
previous versions of Word.

So, how robust are the list styles and the automatic multi-level lists in
Word 2007? Is it safe to let the people for whom I developing templates use
them or will I end up having to spend hours fixing up their horribly tangled
lists much like I do currently.

thanks,
deborah
