expression.NumberFormat
expression Required. An expression that returns a ListLevel object.
Remarks
The percent sign (%) followed by any number from 1 through 9 represents the number style from the respective list level. For example, if you wanted the format for the first level to be "Article I," "Article II," and so on, the string for the NumberFormat property would be "Article %1" and the NumberStyle property would be set to wdListNumberStyleUpperCaseRoman.
If the NumberStyle property is set to wdListNumberStyleBullet, the string for the NumberFormat property can only contain one character.
Example
This example creates a list template that indents each level and formats the level with an Arabic numeral and a period. The new list template is then applied to the selection.
Set LT = ActiveDocument.ListTemplates.Add(OutlineNumbered:=True)
For x = 1 To 9
With LT.ListLevels(x)
.NumberStyle = wdListNumberStyleArabic
.NumberPosition = InchesToPoints(0.25 * (x - 1))
.TextPosition = InchesToPoints(0.25 * x)
.NumberFormat = "%" & x & "."
End With
Next x
Selection.Range.ListFormat.ApplyListTemplate ListTemplate:=LT
