The first number of the list is displayed in the document.

Type the list text, pressing ENTER after each item.

Subsequent numbers are automatically inserted at the beginning of each line at the same numbering level.

To move an outline numbered item to the appropriate numbering level, do one of the following on the Formatting toolbar:

To demote the item to a lower numbering level, click a list number, and click Increase Indent .

To promote the item to a higher numbering level, click a list number, and click Decrease Indent .

You can turn an existing list into an outline numbered list by changing the hierarchical level of items in the list. Click a number in the list other than the first number, and then press TAB or SHIFT+TAB, or click Increase Indent or Decrease Indent .
You can move an entire list to the left or the right. Click the first number in the list and drag it to a new location. The entire list moves as you drag, without changing the numbering levels in the list. Or you can click the first number and then press TAB or SHIFT+TAB, or click Increase Indent or Decrease Indent .
