Multi-level list with numbers and letters marking hierarchy levels
To create a multi-level list, define the list and then create a paragraph style for each level you want. For example, a list
with four levels requires four paragraph styles (each one assigned the same defined list). As you create each style, you
define its numbering format and paragraph formatting.
For a video tutorial on creating outlines and multi-level lists, see this video from Instant InDesign:
www.instantindesign.com/index.php?view=391
. For step-by-step tutorials on creating outlines or multi-level lists
(such as 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, and so on), see this site:

2
Enter a style name.
3
If you already created a style for your multi-level list, choose the style you will assign to levels above this one from

4
On the left side of the New Paragraph Style dialog box, click Bullets And Numbering.
5
Choose Numbers from the List Type menu.
6
Choose a list you defined from the List menu. If you haven’t yet defined your list, you can choose New List from

8
