Rich,

Did you ever get this to work? I used your method 1 but the statement:

Set ltTemp = ActiveDocument.ListTemplates("MyNewListTemplate")

where my version of "MyNewListTemplate" DOES exist, generates a run-time
error saying "The requested member of the collection does not exist." In
fact, when I wrote a test macro to simply display the Names of every
ListTemplate, NO Names were displayed. Did you figure out how to return a
ListTemplate object by name, or even how to determine the index of a named
ListTemplate?

TIA,
Jeff Jansen

Did you remember to name your list templates as you created them? In
particular, note that list style names and list template names are *not* the
same thing.
