How do I delete a multilevel list in Word 2007?   

I created a multilevel list but in the process made a few that didn't work. I 
can't see how to delete the duds.

If you created a list style you can delete it the way you delete any other 
style. Note, however, that you cannot delete the underlying list templates 
from the document. The best you can do is copy the document contents, except 
for the final paragraph mark (¶), into a new document.

In order to show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting marks, 
you can press Ctrl+Shift+8.

Stefan,
I can't see how to delete it. It doesn't appear in the Styles group, only in 
the Multilevel List panel. I've tried right clicking  and hunting through the 
various commands without success. I tried searching in Windows using the name 
I gave the List Style but that didn't find it. I would like to experiment 
with this part of Word to try to sort out some of the wrinkles but if I can't 
get rid of the muckups I am reluctant to do so. I appreciate your help.

In the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), click the Manage Styles button. In 
the dialog box you should be able to delete the list style. But as I wrote 
you can never delete the underlying numbering scheme (the list template). 
What you can do is copy the text to a new document, and then you will get 
rid of all list templates not applied to the copied text.
