Using Multilevel Lists in Microsoft WordWord Lists


In Microsoft Word, a multilevel list contains two or more levels of bullets or numbers within a single list. A multilevel list could contain numbers, letters or bullets at each level. This feature will allow you to create up to nine levels in a single list. Multilevel lists are useful in creating meeting minutes or agency policy and procedures.


To create a multilevel list in MS Word:

  1. Go to the Format menu and select
    Bullets and Numbering.

  2. Click on the Outline Numbering tab. Select the style of list you want and click on OK.

  3. Press Enter after you type each paragraph. Each new item in the list will stay at that current level until it is demoted or promoted. Press Tab to demote a level and Shift + Tab to
    promote one level.

  4. After typing the last item, press Enter twice to turn the feature off.

  5. To customize a multilevel list, select one of the styles Word provides and click on the Customize button. This will allow you to customize the list with the letters, numbers or bullets you want.
