a.   The standard says that If the \l switch is omitted for a new series, the default value is 3.

In Word, if the \l switch is omitted for a new series, the default value depends on the ilvl of the paragraph.

b.   The standard allows the LISTNUM to be nested inside another field.

In Word, the LISTNUM field is ignored if nested inside another field.
