I am trying to create a word template using MS Word 2003. One section of
the template will be formatted as Bullets and subheadings.
How can I apply this formatting to a form field in a template. Obliviously
I don't know how many bullets a person using this form
will need, so need to leave room for it to expand, at the same time keeping
the formatting standardized.

Thank You

Create a set of paragraph styles for each level of numbering you want to
support. Create a List style that contains the numbering/bullets, assigning
each level to the associated paragraph style.

Select the form field and apply the paragraph style associated with the top
numbering level. Protect the document. Display the Styles and Formatting task
pane.

The user can now type in the form field and change the numbering level by
clicking the style in the task pane.
