                <div><div class="section"><p>A <dfn class="term">multi-level list </dfn>is
a list that describes hierarchical relationships between the list paragraphs.
These lists are also called <dfn class="term">outline lists</dfn> 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.</p>
<div class="fignone"><img alt="" id="op_multileve_list" src="images/op_multileve_list.png" /><div class="figdesc">Multi-level list with numbers and letters marking hierarchy
levels</div><br /></div><p>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 describe its numbering format and paragraph formatting. </p>
<p>For
more information on creating outlines and multi-levels lists, visit <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_numbered_lists" target="_blank">www.adobe.com/go/learn_id_numbered_lists</a>.</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose New Paragraph Style from the Paragraph
Styles panel menu.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Enter a style name.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you already created a style for your multi-level list,
choose the style you will assign to levels above this one from the
Based On menu; otherwise, choose No Paragraph Style or Basic Paragraph.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>On the left side of the New Paragraph Style dialog box,
click Bullets And Numbering.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose Numbers from the List Type menu.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose a list you defined from the List menu. If you
haven’t yet defined your list, you can choose New List from the
menu and define it now.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Level box, enter a number that describes which
level of the multi-level list you’re creating a style for.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>From the Format menu, choose the type of numbering you
want to use.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Number box, enter metacharacters or select metacharacters
from the menus to describe the number formatting you want for list
items at this level.</span><ul><li><p>To include numbering prefixes from higher
levels, enter text or click at the start of the Number box and choose
Insert Number Placeholder and then select a Level option (for example,
Level 1), or enter ^ and then the list level (for example, enter <kbd class="userinput">^1</kbd>).
In a list with first levels numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on, and second
levels numbered a, b, c, and so on, including the first-level prefix
in the second level renders second-level numbers as 1a, 1b, 1c;
2a, 2b, 2c; 3a, 3b, 3c.</p>
</li>
<li><p>To create a number expression, enter punctuation,
enter metacharacters, or select options on the Insert Special Character
list.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select Restart Numbers At This Level After to renumber
beginning at 1 when a paragraph at this level appears after a paragraph
at a higher level; deselect this option to number paragraphs at
this level consecutively throughout the list without regard for
where the paragraphs appear in the list hierarchy.</span> <p>To restart numbers after a specific level or range of levels,
type the level number or range (such as <kbd class="userinput">2-4</kbd>)
in the Restart Numbers At This Level After field.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Bullet or Number Position area, choose Indent
or Tab Position options to indent list items at this level farther
than list items at higher levels. Indenting helps subordinate items
in lists stand out.</span></li>
