MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / June 2005Applying Number formating AROUND text
I'm writing a macro to change the font/style/alignment of outline numbered lists. I think the best way to explain my problem is to show an example. Right now the lists look like this. 1. Level 1 header Body text on level 1 a) Level 2 header Body text on level 2 When I apply my listTemplate, the body text paragraphs turn into numbers too. Like this ... 1. Level 1 header 2. Body text on level 1 a) Level 2 header b) Body text on level 2 The only way I've been able to get around this was to go through listParagraph by listParagraph and apply the approprate style to each outline level. But this seems to turn my document from one with 5 separate lists to one with 1 big list. Anyone know to update/keep the EXISTING numbering and not add anymore? Thanks! Your "body text" paragraphs need to be in a separate, non-numbered style: 1. Level 1 numbered style Body 1 indented non-numbered style 2. Level 1 numbered style Body 1 indented non-numbered style: (a) Level 2 numbered style Body 2 indented non-numbered style (b) Level 2 numbered style Body 1 indented non-numbered style and so forth. Non-numbered styles between numbered styles don't affect the numbering sequence. It's helpful to assign hotkeys to the different styles. > I'm writing a macro to change the font/style/alignment of outline > numbered lists.
