How do the list indents fit into this in Word 2007? Particularly for just plain numbered lists, there were indent settings in 2003 that appear to be available in Word 2007 only on the right click menu "adjust list indents". This setting seems particularly relevant when restarting numbering, which sets the indents from these list indents and not from the paragraph settings.

For multilevel lists are the list indents the settings under "Position"? And are those settings equivalent to the "adjust list indent" settings for simple numbered lists? Also what is the priority of the indent settings for the built in multilevel list vs. paragraph settings?

One question I have is this.

If I create a file in Word 2007 using these features and then send it to another user with Word 2003, will the data and/or presentation be changed.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards,

Ivan

Do either of these techniques allow you to specify paragraph styles for the actual text at different numbering levels? I've been trying to do this for about three hours now, and have nearly punched my monitor in frustration (instead I punched my cat, which is cheaper and has worse resolution). It appears that you have replaced one completely useless feature with another, completely separate, completely useless feature. I sincerely hope that this is not the case.

All I want is for the top level numbering to have paragraph text that looks like a heading, and subsequent levels to have body-style text. This, it seems, is not too much to ask. Is it?

I feel the Word team has no idea what quality and sheer number of typographical features users expect from Word 2010 (after all these years of no support-real small caps STILL not supported) so please do a search for "Word 2010 Typography" and take the feedback (top 50 results links) into account before releasing Word 2010. Also take a look at OS X and Apple's Pages.
