Word 2007 - where is outline numbering?????

How the hell do I change the format of my outline numbering in my
Heading 1 style.

This style has a alpha prefix to the number, and was created in Word
97. I now want to add an underline to my numbering and text, but when
I click on Modify to any styles, there is only an option to change the
Number format and not the Outline number format.

I suspect their new "Multilevel list" is the Outline numbering, but
its not an option to edit in a style.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

Strictly speaking, the *lists* are stored in documents (and templates) in
Word 97-2007, but the *list galleries* have changed in Word 2007. While Word
97-2003 stored them in the registry for each user/machine, they now reside
in the ListGal.dat file in the user profile.

If you are referring to resetting the list gallery, just delete the
ListGal.dat file in the user profile (with Word closed).

As far as I know, list styles store list templates, but they aren't exactly
identical to list templates. They do provide a way to control list templates
(in a similar way that you could control list templates via the top-level
style in an outline-numbered list in Word 97-2003).
