Create a new multilevel list style to add to the gallery
If the multilevel list styles in the gallery aren't what you are looking for, you can create and define a new multilevel
list style. You can use your new list style each time you begin a new multilevel list in a document. The new list
style is added automatically to the gallery of list styles.
