From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 29 May 2010 23:49 I was able to duplicate your result. I created a new list style linked to heading styles and clicked "New documents based on this template" (normal. dotm). I created a new document based on normal, but though the list style was there, the list levels were not linked to headings. I then saved my original document with the new list style as a template. New documents based on that template retain the list style with linked headings. I suggest that you do something similar. Now I realize that I never saw this behavior before because I avoid adding numbering to normal.dot headings.

From: Stefan Blom on 30 May 2010 08:27 List styles are relatively new in Word. I suspect that not many people actually make use of them, which is why where is limited experience of them. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Mariann" <Mariann(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:738E057F-D712-49B5-A430-00F0C49737C5(a)microsoft.com... > > > "Stefan Blom" wrote: > >> I don't know if it's a bug or "by design."

From: Stefan Blom on 30 May 2010 08:28 Have you also tested adding both the list style and the linked paragraph styles to the template? Does that work better? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" <u43222(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a8c2550a5ec76(a)uwe... >I was able to duplicate your result.
