Updating Styles Automatically ???

[NeedSomeAnswers]

I am currently having alot of trouble finding a way to automatically change List styles across a Word document.

What i mean by this is, you have a document with a Paragraph, then a Numbered list, then a paragraph e.t.c

I want to be able to change the Style of the Numbering used in the numbered list across a document, without affecting the other non list paragraphs.

I have been searching the various methods available in WORD VBA and have so far i can update the entire document with a style as well as change the Font e.t.c, BUT AM UNABLE TO JUST UPDATE THE LISTS!


My Code

dim objWord as Word.Application
Dim NoPages as Long
 
objWord.Selection.MoveEnd 6, Count:=1
NoPages = objWord.Selection.Information(wdNumberOfPagesInDocument)
objWord.Selection.MoveEnd 6, Count:=NoPages
    
    With objWord.Selection
        .Font.Name = "Arial"     
        .Font.Size = 10
        .ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 20
        '.ParagraphFormat.Style = "HL LEGAL"
    End With

I then tried to cycle through all the Paragraphs and change the style that way, and then i discovered, even if a line is part of a numbered list, its STYLE can still be NORMAL and not NUMBERED which doesn't help me at all.

For Each Paragraph In objWord.ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
        If Paragraph.Style <> "HL legal" Then
            If Paragraph.Style = "Numbered" Then
                       'change style
            End If
        End If
Next

So what i need is someway to Detect if a line is part of a numbered list and to then change to a different Numbering Style ????

I will be eternally gratefull if anybody has an answer to this as it has been doing my head in !!!!

I was going to say record a macro of you putting in a list to see how it goes.

I did this and it uses a collection of ListGalleries which I assume you can actually parse. It might be worth just looping through this collection and changing the number format as applicable.
