As with other styles, the main reasons for using list styles are consistency and

speeding up your work. Although you can create simple lists quickly by clicking the

Numbering On/Off or Bullets On/Off icons on the Formatting toolbar, and create

quite complex nested lists using the icons on the Bullets and Numbering toolbar, the

appearance of the resulting lists may not be what you want—and you might want to

have more than one style of list. You can use the Bullets and Numbering choice on

the Format menu to manually format the appearance of some or all of the lists, but if

you later need to change their appearance, you will have a lot of manual work to do.

Note

OOo uses the terms “numbering style” and “list style” inconsistently,

but they are the same thing. For example, the tooltip in the Styles and

Formatting window says “List Styles”, but its style dialog box says

“Numbering Style”.

Defining the appearance of a nested list

A nested list is a numbered or bulleted list with subordinate (usually indented)

numbered or bulleted lists. Rather than just a list of numbered items (1,2,3...), a

nested list may have item 1, then indented items numbered a,b,c or i,ii,iii or some

other numbering method before the main number 2. With numbering styles, you can

achieve any combination of numbering formats you want. A nested list may even

combine numbered items with bulleted items.

There is no difference between defining a nested list style or a simple list, although

nested lists require more work. An example of a nested list is given in Chapter 3

(Working with Text). In that case, the list was built using one of the predefined

outline schemes as a starting point, while in this section we follow a more general

approach so that the list can more fully suit your needs.

Creating a new list style

The dialog box to create a new list style consists of six pages, in addition to the usual

Organizer page discussed in “The Organizer page” on page 202.

Bullets, Numbering Styles, and Graphics pages

The Bullets, Numbering Style, and Graphics pages contain predefined formatting for

list item symbols (bullets or numbers). To use one of them for your style, click on the

image. A thick border indicates the selection. The bullets on the Bullets tab are font

characters; those on the Graphics tab are graphics.

If you choose a graphics bullet, you can select the Link Graphics option to create a

link to the graphic object rather than embedding it in the document. If you decide to

link the graphic, keep in mind that the bullet will not be displayed when the

document is opened on a different computer (unless the same graphic file is located

in the same location on both computers) or if the graphic file used is moved to a

different location on the computer.

Outline page

Use the Outline page to select from eight predefined nested lists. You can also select

one and use it as a starting point for your own style, customizing the list using the

Position page and the Options page, as described below.
