Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in your documents
to format, arrange, and emphasize text. In this lesson, you will
learn how to modify existing bullets, insert
new bulleted and numbered lists, select symbols as bullets, and
format multilevel lists.
When you want to organize lists in Word, you can format them as
either bulleted or numbered lists. Word offers a variety of bullet
options that allow you to customize your lists to suit your needs.

Multilevel lists
Multilevel lists allow you to create an outline with multiple levels. In fact, you can turn any
bulleted or numbered list into a multilevel list by placing the insertion point at the beginning
of a line and pressing the Tab key to change the level for that line. You can then use
the Multilevel List command to choose the types of bullets or numbering that are used.
