Word 2007 - "Define new number format" with Number style (None)

[Data_Lisa]

In Word 2003 you can define a new number format list with Number style
(None). It is not possible in Word 2007 because the OK button is not
activated when (None) is choosen.

To create a list like this is useful if you want to repeat a text on every
line in a list without a number.

My work around for this time was to do a list in Word 2003 version and then
copy it into Word 2007.

I look forward to get an answere from someone out there.

Best regards,
Lisa

It is true that you can't do this for simple lists in Word 2007, but you can
do it for multilevel lists; see

Any idea if Microsoft is creating a fix for this issue (not being able to update a style if the Number style is (none)in the Define New Number Format box) or if it will be fixed in future versions of Word? I already have multiple styles set up in my template using this functionality. I just noticed that it wasn't work in 2007 when I tried to add a new style. If I use the multilist numbering option, all of my old styles will be obsolete and will be hanging out in documents that use older version of the template, cluttering the Styles window. Please let me know if you have heard anything about a fix.

Thanks so much!

I think this is a "design choice" rather than a bug, so I'm guessing it won't be
fixed. :-(

However, there is no reason why you can't set up a multilevel list; it'll work
the same in older versions of Word.
