a numbered list, the numbers are updated automatically when you
add or remove paragraphs in the list. Paragraphs that are part of
the same list are numbered sequentially. These paragraphs do not
have to be consecutive to one another as long as you define a list
for the paragraphs.</p>
<p>You can also create a multi-level list,
in which list items are numbered in outline form and are indented
by different degrees.</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Open the Bullets And Numbering dialog box. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Under Numbering Style, select the type of numbering you
want to use from the Format menu. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Number box, use the default expression—period
(.) and tab space (^t)—or construct a number expression of your
own. To enter a number expression, delete the period after the number
metacharacter (^#) and do one of the following: </span><ul><li><p>Type a character (such as a closing parenthesis)
or more than one character in place of the period. </p>
</li>
<li><p>Choose an item (such as Em Dash or Ellipses) from
the Insert Special Character menu.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Type a word or character before the number metacharacter.
For example, to number questions in a list, you can type the word <kbd class="userinput">Question</kbd>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose a character style for the expression. (The style
you choose applies to the entire number expression, not just to
the number.)</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For Mode, choose one of the following options: </span> <dl><dt class="dlterm">Continue From Previous
Number</dt>
<dd>Numbers lists sequentially.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p><dt class="dlterm">Start At</dt>
<dd>Starts numbering at a number or other value that you
enter in the text box. Enter a number, not a letter, even if your
list uses letters or Roman numerals for numbering.</dd><p class="dlseparator"></p></dl>

<li class="stepexpand"><span>Specify any other options, and then click&#160;OK.</span></li>
