 To start a new numbered sequence in a list, click “Start at” and specify the number
you want the sequence to begin with.
If you want items in your list to have labeled subtopics (like in an outline), use an
ordered list instead of a numbered list.
To learn about modifying list styles or creating your own list style, see “Modifying and
Creating New List Styles” on page 129.
Using Ordered Lists (Outlines)
Ordered lists (or outlines) provide different numbering styles for each indent level in a
list, allowing you to create a hierarchy of information. For example:
 You can create an outline using numbering sequence such as the following as you
proceed from the highest level to lower levels: I, A, 1, a), (1), (a), i), (1), and (a).
 You can create a legal style outline, which appends an additional number or letter at
each lower level: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, and so on.
You can also choose an ordered list style in the Styles drawer. Click the Styles Drawer
button in the Format Bar, and then select the list style. If you don’t see list styles in the
Styles drawer, click the List Styles button in the lower-right corner of the drawer to
make the styles appear.
You can add and format ordered lists using the Text Inspector.
To add and format an ordered list:
1 Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click List.
3 To create a legal style list, choose Tiered Numbers from the Bullets & Numbering pop-
up menu. Otherwise, choose Numbers instead.
4 Choose a numbering style from the pop-up menu directly below it.
5 To adjust the space between numbers and the left margin, use the Number Indent
field. To adjust the space between numbers and text, use the Text Indent field.
Use these techniques to add and indent items in your list:
 To add a new topic at the current indent level, press Return. If you’re working in a
table cell and “Return key moves to next cell” is selected in the Table Inspector, press
Option-Return instead.
 To create an unnumbered paragraph within a topic, press Return while holding
down the Shift key. If you’re working in a table cell and “Return key moves to next
cell” is selected in the Table Inspector, press Control-Return instead.
