List Paragraphy style does not automatically apply to lists Andreas <addictivemedia[ at ]gmail.com> 12/2/2008 12:57:45 AM Hi guys, I have created a custom style for my "Normal" paragraphs. This style has a 12 point space after each paragraph. For my bulleted lists I don't want that space to appear. If I watch the normal behaviour of the default Word template, any bulleted lists I create automatically switch to the "List Paragraph" style, so that they have got less space after each paragraph than the "Normal" style. I like that behaviour, but for some reason it doesn't happen in my customised document anymore. How can I ensure that any bulleted lists I create automatically switch to the "List Paragraph" style? Thanks for the help.

Re: List Paragraphy style does not automatically apply to lists Andreas <addictivemedia[ at ]gmail.com> 12/2/2008 5:06:38 AM That's what I am doing at the moment, but I preferred the default behaviour where I did not always have to select a separate style for the bulleted lists. I can't figure out why that behaviour is not working anymore. On Dec 2, 3:10 pm, "Suzanne S.

Another: The settings of the List paragraph style; make sure that the checkbox for "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" is checked.
