Defining my own styles

[RSunday]

I am setting up a number of styles. One of them is for a bullet-list. I also
want to create one for a numbered list.

Both are based on my general style for "body" text.

When I create my style for the numbered list - somehow this affects the
bullet list style - in the way that the bullet disappears and the indentation
is removed...

How do I prevent that one style affects the other like that..?

Is your custom style based on another numbered style? If so, the number
formatting might very well be "hi-jacked" by the custom style. Instead of
basing a style on a numbered style, create a new numbered style from
scratch. If you want specific instructions, tell me your version of Word.

I am using Word 2003 SP3.

Even when I base both styles on "(no style)" - I still get this correlatoin
where changing one affects the other.

But you did initially create the custom style by modifying a numbered style?
If so, they could still be sharing the same underlying numbering scheme.

Instead, try creating a new style and then apply numbering to it (via the
Modify Style dialog box).
