ListLevel.NumberFormat property (Word)

  • Article

Returns or sets the number format for the specified list level. Read/write String.

Syntax

expression.NumberFormat

expression An expression that returns a 'ListLevel' object.

Remarks

The percent sign (%) followed by any number from 1 through 9 represents the number style from the respective list level. For example, if you wanted the format for the first level to be "Article I," "Article II," and so on, the string for the NumberFormat property would be "Article %1" and the NumberStyle property would be set to wdListNumberStyleUpperCaseRoman.

If the NumberStyle property is set to wdListNumberStyleBullet, the string for the NumberFormat property can only contain one character.

Example

This example creates a list template that indents each level and formats the level with an Arabic numeral and a period. The new list template is then applied to the selection.

Set LT = ActiveDocument.ListTemplates.Add(OutlineNumbered:=True) 
For x = 1 To 9 
 With LT.ListLevels(x) 
 .NumberStyle = wdListNumberStyleArabic 
 .NumberPosition = InchesToPoints(0.25 * (x - 1)) 
 .TextPosition = InchesToPoints(0.25 * x) 
 .NumberFormat = "%" & x & "." 
 End With 
Next x 
Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate ListTemplate:=LT
