Formatting paragraphs in Word 2007 Multilevel lists - microsoft.public.word.docmanagement

I'm using Word 2007, SP2. Without the list applied, the paragraph style is what I selected with a 6pt space before and after each paragraph. When I apply a multilevel list, the style is not what I wanted, and the inter-paragraph spacing disappears. I went into define a new list style and correcetd the style to give a hanging indent, but under format, "paragraph" is muted and not available to edit. How do I restore the inter-paragraph spacing? Thank you for any suggestions you can offer. Larry

Modify the List Paragraph style, clearing the check box for "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" in the Paragraph dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne! I'd not noticed that check box, and I only found it on the 2nd look after reading your reply. VERY respectfully, Larry "Suzanne S.

It's refreshing to have someone actually recognize the reference. As an engineer, I'm certified as functionally illiterate. But, in this case, it was not an error: years ago, a list that I'd joined already had my name and easy monikers taken, so I chose one that wouldn't have been in use, "Luddite." When it was already taken, I practiced my black language skills and then dropped a "d." (Adding an "r" was acceptable in "Derringer" so. . . ) Very respectfully, Larry "Suzanne S.
