by other paragraphs and lists, and can span different stories and
different documents in a book. For example, use defined lists to
create a multi-level outline, or to create a running list of numbered
table names throughout your document. You can also define lists
for separately numbered or bulleted items that are mixed together.
For example, in a list of questions and answers, define one list
for numbering the questions and another for numbering the answers.</p>
<p>Defined
lists are often used to track paragraphs for numbering purposes.
When you create a paragraph style for numbering, you can assign
the style to a defined list, and paragraphs are numbered in that
style according to where they appear in the defined list. The first
paragraph to appear is given number 1 (“Table 1”), for example,
and the next paragraph is given number 2 (“Table 2”), even if it
appears several pages later. Because both paragraphs belong to the
same defined list, they can be numbered consecutively no matter
how far apart they are in the document or book.</p>
<p>Define a new
list for each type of item you want to number—step-by-step instructions,
tables, and figures, for example. By defining multiple lists, you
can interrupt one list with another and maintain number sequences
in each list.</p>
