Apply numbering to selected paragraphs by choosing from
a set of preformated lists.
The formats you choose in the following procedure, including
those for multilevel lists, are applied to currently selected text
only. Use the named styles in the style list if you think you need
to make global style changes later. For multilevel lists (outlines)
from which you intend to generate a table of contents, use outline
numbering.

or click in an existing numbered list.

want to apply.

beginning, click Restart numbering. To begin
the numbering where the last paragraph left off, click Continue
numbering.

different number characters, indents, spacing, or alignment.

only to the selected text and are not saved in the predefined format.
