Customized Bulleted and Numbered Lists

[Hiddenbsideyou]

Is there a way for me to customize the order in which the bullets and or
numbers are automatically inserted once enabled? I am a history major and
many of my notes contain numerous subpoints and after about the 5 or 6
subpoint I have to begin manually changing them. Is there any way for me to
customize this and for the program to use it on its own once created? If so,
how do I go about doing this?

There is the Customize Numbering Task Pane (it's not shown by default in
the TP list but is found at the bottom of the Numbering TP).

From there you can apply more detailed settings to selected outline levels.
YOu have to select the entire outline first, then select the desired
formatting, then choose an option from the "Change Numbers On:" dropdown
box.

What I end up doing when creating complex outlines is just abandoning
trying to set number levels while creating the notes. I just use the Tab
button and/or the outline tools on the Outlining Toolbar, and when I review
the notes later, use the Numbering etc. Task Panes to apply the desired
formatting to the outline. Using the method above, you only have to do
one formatting operation per outline level.
