100 Computer Tips in 100 Days
Tip #79 - Multilevel Lists in Word

Clicking on one of the choices will insert the first level of the list. Pressing the Enter/Return key will duplicate the level that you were just using. For example if you are using a multilevel list that has numbers, the first paragraph will have a “1” inserted at the beginning and pressing the Enter/Return key will insert the number “2”. To indent to the second level you need to press the Enter/Return key, which will repeat the previous level, and then you press the Tab key. The Tab key indents you to the second level which might then insert a lower case “a”, if that’s the style you chose. When you have finished entering all of your second level entries you press the Enter/Return key again and then use a Shift Tab (holding down the Shift key and pressing the Tab key) to return to level 1.
An alternative to using the Tab and Shift-Tab keys is the indent options on the Home tab, just to the right of the multilevel list option.

Happy Computing!
