Returns a WdContinue constant (wdContinueDisabled, wdResetList, or wdContinueList) that indicates whether the formatting from the previous list can be continued.

Syntax

expression   Required. A variable that represents a List object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
ListTemplate Required ListTemplate A list template that's been applied to previous paragraphs in the document.

Remarks

This method returns the state of the Continue previous list and Restart numbering options in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box for a specified list format. To change the settings of these options, set the ContinuePreviousList argument of the ApplyListTemplate method.

Example

This example checks to see whether numbering from a previous list is disabled. If it isn't disabled, the current list template is applied with numbering set to continue from the previous list. The selection must be within the second list, or this example creates an error.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Dim lfTemp As ListFormat
Dim intContinue As Integer

Set lfTemp = Selection.Range.ListFormat


intContinue = lfTemp.CanContinuePreviousList( _
ListTemplate:=lfTemp.ListTemplate)

lfTemp.ApplyListTemplate _
ListTemplate:=lfTemp.ListTemplate, _
ContinuePreviousList:=True
End If
