Example

This example formats the selection as a numbered list. The example then displays a message box that reports the number of lists in the active document.

Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate _ 
 ListTemplate:=ListGalleries(wdNumberGallery).ListTemplates(2) 
MsgBox "This document has " & ActiveDocument.Lists.Count _ 
 & " lists."

This example formats the third list in the active document with the default bulleted list format. If the list is already formatted with a bulleted list format, the example removes the formatting.

If ActiveDocument.Lists.Count >= 3 Then 
 ActiveDocument.Lists(3).Range.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault 
End If

This example displays a message box that reports the number of items in each list in MyLetter.doc.

Set myDoc = Documents("MyLetter.doc") 
i = myDoc.Lists.Count 
For each li in myDoc.Lists 
 Msgbox "List " & i & " has " & li.CountNumberedItems _ 
 & " items." 
 i = i - 1 
Next li
