Note
It is a matter of personal preference whether you type your
information first, then apply Numbering/Bullets or apply these
as you type.
Using the Bullets and Numbering toolbar
You can create a nested list (where one or more list items has a sublist
under it, as in an outline) by using the buttons on the Bullets and
Numbering toolbar (Figure 68). You can move items up or down the
list, create subpoints, and even change the style of bullets.

Tip
It is possible to move a list entry up, together with all of its
sub-entries. Do this by clicking the Promote One Level With
Subpoints button.
If you create a nested list using the predefined styles, all the levels of
the list (up to 10) apply the same numbering (or bullet), however in
many circumstances you will want to use a combination of numbering
formats and bullets when creating nested lists. Such lists with a
mixture of numbering formats and bullets can be easily configured as
described in the following example. Additional information on lists and
in particular the technique to create your own list style is described in
Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
