Jerry,
A simple list is 1-3, that means it begins in cell 1 and runovers are in cell
3.
It becomes a nested list when you have two or more levels. Each level indents 2
cells, and all the runovers are 2 cells to the right of the furthest indent.
Here are a couple of examples.
If you have a two level list, such as a multiple choice quiz, your first level
of questions begin in cell 1, the second level of answer choices begin in cell
3, and the runovers for both levels are in cell 5 (2 cells to the right of cell
3, the deepest indent).
If you have a three level list, such as an outline, your first level begins in
cell 1, the second level begins in cell 3, the third level begins in cell 5,
and the runovers for all levels are in cell 7 (2 cells to the right of cell 5,
the deepest indent).
Based on your initial question I know you are using one of the BANA templates.
However, you didn’t indicate if you are trying to create your lists in Word or
DBT. DBT’s functionality with this is dependent on which version of DBT you are
using. It would be helpful to know which version of DBT you have, and if you
are using Word. If you are using Word to create the file, are you using SWIFT
in conjunction with the BANA template?

Thanks. There are still a lot of little nuances regarding 12.4 that I am
learning about. Regarding the list styles, it just states just that ... “list”.
So I am a little confused on if it is a simple list, nested list, etc. Thanks
again for the reply. Jerry

Jerry,
There is no specific function implied by the numbered styles other than to
indicate the format that style produces. For example, the 1-3 style means the
paragraph begins in cell 1 and the runover is in cell 3. The numbered styles
are for those users who prefer to format by indent/runover only. Numbered
styles are also helpful in situations where other named styles don’t quite
match what the producer wants.
The various nested list styles (exercise, list, contents, glossary, index,
poetry) automatically change the runover of the full list based on the number
of levels used. How this functions is dependent on the version of DBT. These
different types of nested lists have the same format for indent/runover, but
there are subtle differences (lists incorporate blank lines, contents protect
the right margin for page numbers, poetry protects poetic lines).
You can use the numbered styles, but it is up to you to insert appropriate
blank lines, manage end of braille page issues, and change styles to
accommodate the different levels in a nested list.

Good morning all.
In the styles headings, the first several in which to choose from are listed as
1-2, 1-3, etc. Are these the styles for nested lists, with their levels of
headings and subheadings? Thanks.
Jerry
