Word 2007 - Multilevel List

[Fabrizio]

Hello,
I would like to have a multilevel list with 3 levels, having this concept:
a dot («.») following the current level of numbering means the presence of
underlying levels.
Example:
1. chapter having subchapters (1. has the final DOT)
1.1. sub-chapter having sub-subchapters (1.1. has the final DOT)
1.1.1 sub-subchapter (1.1.1 has NOT the final DOT)
1.2 sub-chapter NOT having sub-subchapters (1.2 has NOT the final DOT)
2 chapter NOT having subchapters (2 has NOT the final DOT)

How can I do?
If I define a New Multilelevel List and choose a formatting number without
the final DOT, and select Apply Changes to "Current Paragraph" or Apply
Changes to "Selected text", the changes are applied the same to the Whole
document!!!

Thanx!

When you try to modify parts of a multilevel list, you are likely to create
another list, which will cause a mess of the numbering. Also, if each
numbering level is linked to a paragraph style, the list will change and
some paragraphs will have direct formatting applied to them, which again
will create a mess.

I think we have to conclude that multilevel numbering in Word simply isn't
as flexible as you would like it to be.

In order to (relatively successfully) do what you want, you will have to use
SEQ fields to create the numbers, and then add the periods manually in each
text paragraph.

I've worked as follows:
for each paragraph I've created a new style and a new multilevel list.
I got my target, but I'm asking myself: I've worked well?

Thx.

I'm not sure how you did that? With a lot of manual restarts?
