How do I create a style with the text "NOTE:" at the begining?

I want to create a style that has NOTE: at the beginning. When I apply this
style I only want to add the text for the note. I was able to do this in
Office 2003 but I cannot find where in Office 2007 I can create this style.

Thoughts?

Use the Format Number facility to format the numbering of your style so that
it has the word NOTE: preceding the number, which you actually delete from
the style.

Unfortunately this doesn't work in Word 2007 - see
http://www.gmayor.com/Text_as_bullet.htm . Word 2007 does not allow you to
save a number format with leading text unless you also add a number. So you
could have NOTE: 1 or NOTE: A but not NOTE:

I think I tested and found you could do this with a multilevel list but not
a simple list. Am I crazy?

Hmmm. Back to the drawing board :eek:(
It appears that you can do it with a multilevel list but not a simple list.
At least that's a step in the right direction :)

MS has been pushing us toward "outline" or "multilevel" lists for some time,
at least to accomplish anything useful.

Thanks, for the confirmation, Stefan and Lene. I thought I remembered
figuring this out when I was updating
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/QandA.htm, but I've just looked at that
article and realized that it has not been updated, so I guess that's another
thing to add to my very long list of To Dos!
