Create a paragraph style for running lists
To create a running list—a list that is interrupted by other paragraphs or that spans multiple stories or documents—
create a paragraph style and apply the style to paragraphs that you want to be part of the list. For example, to create
a running list of the tables in your document, create a paragraph style called Tables, make a defined list part of the
style, and then apply the Tables paragraph style to all paragraphs you want in your Table list.
1 Choose New Paragraph Style from the Paragraph Styles panel menu.
2 Enter a style name.
3 On the left side of the New Paragraph Style dialog box, click Bullets And Numbering.
4 For List Type, select Bullets or Numbering.
5 If you are creating a style for numbered lists, choose a defined list from the List menu, or choose New List and
define the list.
6 Specify the bullet or numbering characteristics.
7 Use the Bullet or Number Position section of the New Paragraph Style dialog box to change the indent spacing.
For example, to create a hanging indent, type 2p for Left Indent and -2p for First Line Indent.
8 Specify other paragraph style attributes for the style, and then click OK.

Create multi-level lists
A multi-level list is a list that describes hierarchical relationships between the list paragraphs. These lists are also
called outline lists because they resemble outlines. The list’s numbering scheme (as well as indentations) show rank
as well as how items are subordinate to one another. You can tell where each paragraph fits in the list with respect to
the paragraphs before and after it. You can include up to nine levels in a multi-level list.
