Creating nested lists
A list item can itself contain a list. Such a list-within-a-list is called a nested list. List items can be promoted (moved from a nested list to its parent list) or demoted (moved from a parent list to a nested list).
To create a nested list:
- Press Enter inside a list to start a new list item.
- On the Home menu, go to the Paragraph group, and click (Increase Indent).
- Enter the items of the nested list, pressing Enter after each item.
To promote a nested list:
- Place the insertion point in the first item of the nested list.
- On the Home menu, go to the Paragraph group, and click (Decrease Indent).
To promote or demote one list item:
- Place the insertion point in the list item you want to promote or demote.
- On the Home menu, go to the Paragraph group, and click (Increase Indent) or (Decrease Indent).
