From: bvicari on 7 Mar 2010 21:42 I have created a custom multilevel list in Word 2007, but whenever I make a line break by hitting enter, the formatting goes back to "Normal" and I lose my bullets. Usually when I am using bulleted lists, pressing enter brings me to the same bullet level I was at previously. How do I correct this?
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 7 Mar 2010 23:37 When you say a custom multilevel list do you mean that you have created a style for the list. If so, in the Style definition dialog, the style for the following paragraph needs to be set to that style, rather than Normal. -- Hope this helps.

In addition to what Doug has said, note that even if the multilevel list was NOT created with paragraph styles, the behavior when you press Enter (at the end of a paragraph) is determined by the "Style for following paragraph" setting for the paragraph style applied to text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr(a)REMOVECAPSmvps.org> wrote in message news:9431DE93-E77B-4244-A188-70A606AC71AF(a)microsoft.com... > When you say a custom multilevel list do you mean that you have created a > style for the list.
