Reset Multilevel List gallary in Word 2007?

[Guest]

Hello,

In the List Library/Gallery dropdown for multi-level numbering, what if I
right-click on one of the default items in the gallery and choose "Remove
from List Library" - is there a way to get these default Gallery items back?

Thanks

Close Word first. Delete Listgal.dat, which will delete *all* customizations
to list galleries except as noted below and restore all the defaults.

If you have used the Define New Multilevel List command to define new lists
in documents or templates, these will not be affected since they are stored
in the documents or templates.

You find ListGal.dat in the following places:
XP:
....:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\ListGal.dat

Vista:
...:\User\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\ ListGal.dat

Thanks Aeneas. Out of curiousity (because I had so much trouble finding this
out), is this documented in Help or somewhere else for future reference?

I have never been able to find anything that deals with ListGal.dat. I found
the file when I was trying to figure out what happened to the list gallery
settings, which are no longer in the registry in Word 2007. I then began to
experiment with creating lists and deleting ListGal.dat and even Normal.dotm
to see what happened when I restarted Word. I'm sure at some point there'll
be documentation.

Correction is necessary re this statement:

If you have used the Define New Multilevel List command to define new lists

in documents or templates, these will not be affected since they are stored
in the documents or templates

They will be affected if you have right clicked on the thumbnail of the list
template that you have created and then clicked Add to List Library; the list
template is then available to other documents and is saved in ListGal.dat,
not the Normal template; hence if you delete ListGal.dat, the thumbnail will
not be available to the user on the computer it was created and added to the
list library
