Think of how MS Word uses styles.  Assume I apply "Heading 1" to 3 different

paragraphs and that "Heading 1" has bullets.  If I modify "Heading 1" to not

have bullets, all 3 paragraphs should change their appearance.

ApplyListStyle(-1, -1, ...) would only change the currently selected

paragraph.

If we were talking about the FontName (TFontInfo), and I modified "Heading

1" to be Arial (for example), I would find the "Heading 1" style in the

TFontInfos collection and change its font name.  All "Heading 1" paragraphs

would be changed to Arial.

The problem with TListInfo is that there seems to be no way to set the

TListInfo to be "not a list".  Imagine a style dialog box that had a tab

page for "Bullets and Numbering".  One of the options would be NONE, just

like in MS Word.  I could loop through the collection of TListInfo's to find

the one that is named "Heading 1", but I can't set it to turn off bullets

(and or numbers).

Does this help any?
