How do I create nested lists?

What are nested lists? Essentially a nested list is just a list contained within a list. For example, you might have a numbered list but then want to include sub items within it using roman numerals. Or you might want to have a bulleted list and change up the bullet style for your nested list. Follow the guide below to see how to create nested lists and edit the bullet or number types.

1. Start with your basic bulleted or numbered list – use these options on the tool bar to create one.

2. Select the text that should be part of the nested list

3. Click the ‘tab’ button on your keyboard. This will indent the highlighted text and apply a different bullet type.
