In such a case, you could type the questions and answers for the test without numbering or indenting them. The following steps will use the example of creating a test question. Multilevel bulleted or numbered lists can be applied to selected text at any time. Another use for multilevel lists is quiz or test questions where the question uses a number and the possible answers use lower case letters.Īpplying Multilevel List Numbering to Existing Text An example of a multilevel list is an outline where the first level uses a Roman numeral and the next level uses a capital letter. It makes creating sublists or subpoints in a list easy. Word’s multilevel list feature takes bullets and numbering to the next step. This article is based on legacy software.
I simply replaced "wdListBullet" with "wdListSimpleNumbering" (I also changed the highlight color, though that isn't necessary).(Archives) Microsoft Word 2007: Using Multilevel List Numbering I also made a copy of that macro and edited it into a version to highlight numbered lists. So I inserted " = wdBrightGreen" before the "End If" and now it finds and highlights all bulleted paragraphs so I can review them by searching for highlighted text.

At first I thought it was because the End If and Exit For statements were out of order, but switching these gave me an error.Īfter way too long playing with it, trial and error, I finally removed the "Exit For" statement completely and ran it again and this time only the last bulleted paragraph remained selected, suggesting it had performed all the loops. This did not work for me, perhaps because I'm using Word for Mac? It only selected the first bulleted paragraph, though I could see there was a Next statement, which suggested it was supposed to loop and continue. Then you'll be able to search for the style-which is quite easy in Find and Replace-and find your bulleted paragraphs every time. Instead, define a style for your bulleted paragraphs, and use the style to do your formatting. If you think that you may need to search for bulleted paragraphs quite a bit, one solution for future documents is to not use the Bullets tool to create these formats. When the end of the document is reached, the selection remains set to the last bulleted paragraph. Each time you invoke the macro, the next bulleted paragraph within the document is selected. The best way to use the macro is to assign it to a shortcut key.
The following VBA macro will do the trick: Of course, that leaves the potential problem of finding other non-bulleted paragraphs with a similar indent.Īnother solution is to create a macro that will search for bulleted paragraphs. Thus, if the format applies a half-inch indent, then you could search for that. One solution is to simply search for the paragraph indenting applied by the bullet format you want to find. Word doesn't allow you to search for a "bulleted" attribute, nor does it allow you to search for the actual bullet or the tab character following the bullet. (You know-the ones you use the Bullets tool on the Home tab of the ribbon to create.) Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to do this.
At some point you may wonder if there is a way to search for bulleted paragraphs. If you are working with a large formatted document, you may want to use Find and Replace to search for different document elements.
