Hi Gregory,

Thanks for your inquiry. Following code example creates a sample document that exercises all outline headings list templates. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Aspose.Words.Lists.List list = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.OutlineHeadingsArticleSection);
AddOutlineHeadingParagraphs(builder, list, "Aspose.Words Outline 1");
list = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.OutlineHeadingsLegal);
AddOutlineHeadingParagraphs(builder, list, "Aspose.Words Outline 2");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
list = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.OutlineHeadingsNumbers);
AddOutlineHeadingParagraphs(builder, list, "Aspose.Words Outline 3");
list = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.OutlineHeadingsChapter);
AddOutlineHeadingParagraphs(builder, list, "Aspose.Words Outline 4");
builder.Document.Save(MyDir + "Lists.OutlineHeadingTemplates Out.doc");

private static void AddOutlineHeadingParagraphs(DocumentBuilder builder, Aspose.Words.Lists.List list, string title)
{
    builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
    builder.Writeln(title);
    for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
    {
        builder.ListFormat.List = list;
        builder.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber = i;
        string styleName = "Heading " + (i + 1).ToString();
        builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = styleName;
        builder.Writeln(styleName);
    }
    builder.ListFormat.RemoveNumbers();
}
