SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Word 2000, when you create a multilevel list, and then apply one of the outline numbered list formats that appear on the Outline Numbered tab under Bullets and Numbering, you find that your list is missing levels.

For example, instead of appearing as follows:

1. One

    1.1. Two

        1.1.1. Three

Your list may instead appear as follows:

1. One

        1.1.1. Two

                1.1.1.1.1.1. Three
