In Microsoft Word, you can edit the list levels to organize your numbered/bulleted lists and outlines. You can even custom-build a multilevel list by formatting each list level to meet your preferences.

To Change a List Level Using Numbers or Bullets:
- Place your cursor within the list item you wish to change to a different level.
- Under the "Home" tab, locate the "Paragraph" group >Click the [Numbering] or [Bullets] icon
- Within the drop-down menu, click "Change List Level" > Click the level of organization you would like to apply to the selected list item.
To Create a List with Multiple Levels:
- Place your cursor anywhere within your list.
- Under the "Home" tab, locate the "Paragraph" group > Click the [Multilevel List] icon located next to the [Numbering] icon.
- Choose a list from the List Library, or click Define New Multilevel List and complete the following:
- Under "Click level to modify", choose the level you would like to define.
- Under the "Number style for this level" drop-down menu, choose a new number style.
- To format the number style, click [Font...].
- To define additional levels, choose another level to modify.
- When finished, click [OK].
