Marking in Microsoft Word

Use paragraph styles like the following to mark the first paragraph of each item in the list:

LISTalph-1_para.first   (listFormat = alphaLowCase)
LISTalphC-1_para.first   (listFormat = alphaCaps)
LISTbullet-1_para.first   (listFormat = bullet)
LISTnmbr-1_para.first   (listFormat = number)
LISTrom-1_para.first   (listFormat = romanCaps)
LISTromC-1_para.first   (listFormat = romanLowCase)

If a listItem has more than one paragraph, mark subsequent paragraphs with styles like the following:

LISTalph-1_para
LISTbullet-1_para
LISTrom-1_para

Place labels (such as bullets or numbers) at the beginning of each item in the list, using the following character style:

label

It is often convenient to place a tab after the label, but this is not strictly necessary, as the conversion process strips tabs.

In embedded lists, use stylenames like the following:

LISTalph-2_para   (listFormat = alphaLowCase)
LISTbullet-3_label   (listFormat = bullet)

The number in these stylenames indicates the level of embedding. A bulleted list embedded in a numbered list would be styled LISTbullet-2, because even though it is the first bulleted list, it is two levels deep.

For lists embedded in other structures, use paragraph styles like the following:

SIDE-LISTbullet-1_para   (in figure [sideBar])
