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
