From: maggie on 27 Feb 2010 22:30 i am creating forms in word 2007. I insert a plain text conrtol and in the properties create a style called bullets to create a multiline bulleted list. However when I type into the field no style is used and the enter key produces a soft return instead of a paragraph. Cannot find any information on this. Also why doesn't the style present in the document appear in the Content Control Property box? thaking anyone who can help me. maggie
From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 28 Feb 2010 03:28 If you want to apply styles to form controls, you need to use a Rich Text form control, not a Plain Text control. -- Hope this helps.

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 28 Feb 2010 03:34 Ignore previous response. It appears that it is only the character formatting of a style that is applied, not the paragraph formatting/number formatting. However, if you insert a Rich Text content control into a paragraph to which bullets have been applied, every time you press enter a new bulleted paragraph is inserted into the control. -- Hope this helps.

Not really, since Word adds a line break rather than a paragraph mark when pressing Enter inside a content control. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr(a)REMOVECAPSmvps.org> wrote in message news:418CE037-C040-4552-926C-10CAC195A622(a)microsoft.com... > Ignore previous response.

Hi Stefan, Not what I see here. At least, where the Enter key is pressed, a pilcrow (�) terminates the line and running a macro with the command MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs.Count returns a number equal to the number of pilcrows that are present in the document. -- Hope this helps.
