Working with numbering styles
A numbering style describes how a number should look, what format it should
have, how far it should be from the text, and how it should be aligned.
To create a numbering style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles,
then choose Numbering Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering,
and Outline Styles dialog box. The Edit Numbering Style dialog box displays.
Edit Numbering Style dialog box
To control how the numbers are styled, choose an option from the Character Style
drop-down menu. Choose Inherit from Paragraph to use the paragraph’s character
formatting for the numbers, or choose a character style sheet to use that character
style sheet’s formatting.
Choose a number format from the Format drop-down menu.
If you want prefix or suffix characters around the number, enter them in the Prefix
and Suffix fields.
If you are inheriting the numbers’ formatting from the paragraph, you can change
the size of the numbers using the Size field.
The Outset value controls how far each number is from the paragraph. You can
specify this distance in Absolute units, or click Relative (in Ems) and specify the
value in em spaces. The Relative (in Ems) option may be preferable when you will
be using the numbering style with different-sized text.
