Thanks for your reply, Charles Kenyon.
I have been using Word for several years, including some complex features, however, have found this task somewhat confusing.

If you do not care to learn these arcane skills, I would be happy to format your document to your specifications. I would charge you $150.00 and you would not learn anything. I do not work for Microsoft. No one here does. We are volunteers trying to share what we've learned, often on forums like this, paying it forward. I am encouraging you to learn how Word works so you will no longer feel as if it is working behind you messing up your work.

I carried out Shauna's exercises on a practice document to learn this subject matter and I then attempted to apply it to my own example. Despite spending hours trying to figure it out, it did not work, as I clearly did not understand some aspect of the process. The reason I posted back here was to provide a more precise example of my aim, in case it would render any instructions received so far irrelevant and thus save me time and effort in trying to accomplish the task via the wrong method and get nowhere.
All the questions I asked in my post were seeking advice:
1. Does this the provision of more precise instructions affect the instructions you have provided in any way at all?
2. Would it be better to use the Word version or convert into PDF and if so, what would be the best method of printing the PDF in a larger size?
3. Do I apply the styles to the first list and copy the formatting down or can the styles be set up on an entirely blank document and the text simply copied and pasted in?
I am unsure as to which part of my post or questions may have given the impression that I wanted ANY part of the task to be carried out for me.
I was not able to utilise the document you have set up as I am using Word '97. I had gotten as far as making the example in the preview window appear as I wanted, i.e. all lines with the correct bullet, tab and indentation however, for some reason, it didn't work on the actual document when I clicked 'Apply'. Instead of asking what I needed to do, I chose to ask if the instructions provided were the same so that I could try again and ensure that I doing so by the correct method.
Thanks again for your responses, Charles Kenyon; I will give it another try.
