Create a paragraph style for running lists

To create a running list—a list that is interrupted by other paragraphs or that spans multiple stories or documents—create a paragraph style and apply the style to paragraphs that you want to be part of the list. For example, to create a running list of the tables in your document, create a paragraph style called Tables, make a defined list part of the style, and then apply the Tables paragraph style to all paragraphs you want in your Table list.

  1. Choose New Paragraph Style from the Paragraph Styles panel menu.
  2. Enter a style name.
  3. On the left side of the New Paragraph Style dialog box, click Bullets And Numbering.
  4. For List Type, select Bullets or Numbering.
  5. If you are creating a style for numbered lists, choose a defined list from the List menu, or choose New List and define the list.
  6. Specify the bullet or numbering characteristics.
  7. Use the Bullet or Number Position section of the New Paragraph Style dialog box to change the indent spacing. For example, to create a hanging indent, type 2p for Left Indent and ‑2p for First Line Indent.
  8. Specify other paragraph style attributes for the style, and then click OK.
