Jan,
Based on what you’re saying, I’m guessing you have a source file with bullets
and when you apply the List1 style you are losing the bullets.
One of the things you can do is select the paragraphs with bullets and press
Ctrl-Shift-L. This applies the List Bullet style which is mapped to List. (DBT
12.2 or newer, BANA templates only).
You can also use the Bullet button on the Home tab. It often takes two clicks,
but it generally keeps the designated List style and gives you the bullets.
Also note, I think starting with DBT 12.1, List Paragraph is mapped to List. So
if you have bulleted List Paragraph styles you don’t need to change them.
I also recommend that a setting be changed in Word.
File > Options > Advanced > Editing options
Make sure “Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists” is unchecked. If
this is checked, you will be fighting a losing battle. Word will make bulleted
lists Normal, which obviously formats as 3-1 in DBT.

In the list style I find that I lose bullets that I need. I prefer the numbered
styles.

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
