How can I delete once and for all a 'List' in a document or a 'List Style'?

Thanks

Paul
 
Hi Paul,

Select everything in the list and presss Cntrl+Shft+N. This removes all
numbering and bullets and applies the Normal style to the paragraphs
selected. There is no need to delete styles that are not in use.
 
Thanks. The approach that you suggested has worked; but when I select the new
multilevel list feature in order to create a new list (I use Office 2007
Enterprise), the List that I desperately want to get rid of, reappears.

I need to delete this list once and forever because one of the list numbers
is corrupted. When I try to edit the number in question, I first get a notice
saying that the number must be between 1 and 600 and then when I edit the
font of the number I get a notice that the number must be between 1 and 1638.
Following this the feature freezes.
 
Hi Paul,

The fact that there is a restriction on a range of values suggests that
there is an issue with something else besides numbering. Is this a form with
form fields or controls? Forms can half areas that are protected from
modification. Also, press Alt+F9 to see if there are any field codes in the
area, and check if there are any bookmarks.
 
To delete a list style: In the Styles pane (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S), click the
Manage Styles button. On the Edit tab, locate the appropriate list style,
and click Delete. Click OK to close the dialog box.
 
Isn't 1638 the maximum point size allowed for a character? That has
nothing to do with list numbering.
