My company currently uses multi-level lists to format hundreds of documents. For our projects, our documents need to be formatted to match the client's format. Typically, this is done by saving the client format to the List Library and then applying it our documents. But, the ability to save to the List Library has become more and more unstable as newer versions of Word come out. I've been told we should go to Styles. But, I can't seem to find out how to use them for our specific purpose. How do I set a Style up for this for instance:

PART 1 - GENERAL


1.1 SUBMITTALS


A. Submit manufacturer’s data for the following:


1. Steam traps
2. Strainers
3. Safety valves
4. Pressure reducing valves
5. Vacuum breakers
6. Blowdown separator


PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MATERIALS


A. Provide products complying with ANSI B31.1 for Power Piping.


B. Low-Pressure Steam Piping Up to 15 psig:


1. Size 2” and Smaller Pipe:
a. Black steel pipe, Schedule 40.
b. Fittings: Class 125 cast iron threaded.
2. Size 2-½” and Larger Pipe:
a. Black steel pipe, Schedule 40.
b. Fittings: Class 125 cast iron, flanged, or wrought steel butt welding, extra heavy with steel flanges Class 150.


Each project we work with would have to have a Style created that we could use to reformat our documents. And, anyone in the office would need to able to work in that Style. There are multiple people editing/formatting these documents.

Any insight you could give me would be appreciated.
