I am using Word 2002 in Office XP Small Business. Does
anybody know why my program hangs every time I try to use
the Format / Bullets & Numbering tool. I thought I had
got round the problem by copying the format of previously
numbered lists to new sections but when I need to change
the format of the numbering, to re-start the numbering
for example, I'm back to the same problem of the program
hanging.

BTW - I also have very odd behaviour using bullets (as
opposed to numbered lists). If I "bold" a bulleted line,
the entire document is "bolded", using undo (CTRL-Z)
unbolds the whole document but leaves my bulleted line
bolded (the original desired behaviour).

Similar problems for "outdent". Let's say I had "one
indent bullet", then under that created another bullet
entry, then tried to indent it again, the entire document
will become bulleted (at one indent, not two). Again,
undo fixes the problem.

As mentioned in a previous post, using numbered lists
simply hangs/crashes Word immediately, which doesn't even
seem to be picked up by Dr. Watson.

One more thing- If I type in the information that I'd like
numbered, then select it and click the numbered list
button, all is well.
