Create a new list style

In addition to the built-in list styles that come with Microsoft Word, you can create your own list style to apply similar alignment, number or bullet characters, and fonts to lists.

1. If the Styles and Formatting task pane is not open, click Styles and Formatting on the Formatting toolbar. 
2. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click New Style.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the style.
4. In the Style type box, click List.
5. Select the options that you want, or click Format to see more options.

   For Help on an option, click the question mark , and then click the option.

Notes

• To use the new style in new documents based on the same template, select the Add to template check box. Word adds the new style to the template that is attached to the active document.
• You can reuse a new list style by selecting it in from the Styles and Formatting task pane, or from the List Styles tab in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box (click Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu).
