How to create a new list to be used with numbered paragraphs?

[ALGOMART]

When using numbered paragraphs I find there is already a set of numbered
lists to choose from (e.g: I, II, III, IV; or First, Second, Third, ...).

However, is there any possibility of creating a new customized numbered list
apart from the existing ones?

Thank you.

To save and reuse number formats, make use of paragraph styles. For example,
you can modify the built-in List Number style to suit your needs.

If you are working with outline numbering (for example heading numbering),
see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

I might have not express myself correctly. I already use paragraph styles,
and combine them with Heading styles. And I am also making good use of
Outline Numbering.

Nevertheless, Word gives a few numbering options:
- I, II, III, IV, ...
- First, Second, Third, ...
- One, Two, Three, ...
- a, b, c, ...

My question has to do with these options.
How can I implement/create new lists?
Say, for example:
- Root, stump, trunk, branch, leaf, flower, ....

Actually, I draft contracts in Spanish, and I find this built-in list in the
Spanish version of Word:
- Primero, Segundo, Tercero, Cuarto, ..... (First, Second, Third, ....)

The previous list is in masculine gender, However, I cannot find its
femenine counterpart:
- Primera, Segunda, Tercera, Cuarta, .... (First, Second, Third, ...)

I thought the solution would be to create a customized list.
BUT HOW?

Thank you very much,
ALGOMART.

As far as I know, there is no way to customize the actual numbering options
in the dialog box. You certainly can't do it in the user interface.
