numbered list formatting

[Guest]

First question:

In previous versions of word there used to be quite a lot of formatting
options for numbered lists. Not the least of those was the ability to define
the indent of the numbers and the next line. This does not appear to exist in
Word 2007...am i missing something or is the setting elsewhere?

Second question:

Is it possible, in word 2007, to create a numbered list with leading zeros
before the number?

There appears to be a built-in style which provides 1 leading zero, but for
my use I require 4. Any way to modify that perhaps?
Thank you

If all the numbers will have the extra leading zeroes (that is, the numbers
will never exceed 00099), you can just type the extra zeroes in front of the
number field in the Customize dialog. If you need numbers 00001 to 99999,
you'll need to use a different kind of number field with a formatting
switch.

could you please give me some more details on the second option? I am trying
to setup a style so that all paragraphs in the document are numbered in this
fashion.

Thank you

I suggest you post in the word.numbering newsgroup, where you will attract
the attention of users who know more about numbering.
