Marking in Microsoft Word

Use paragraph styles like the following to mark the paragraphs in the list:

• LISTdef-1_para.first
• LISTdef-2_para.first
• LISTdef-3_para.first

If a listItem has more than one paragraph, mark subsequent paragraphs with styles like the following:

• LISTdef-1_para

(This is not presently part of the standard style template so would need to be created.)

The number in these stylenames indicates the level of embedding. A definition list embedded in a numbered list would be styled LISTdef-2, because even though it is the first definition list, it is two levels deep.

Place the term in the first paragraph of each list item and mark it with the following character style:

• LISTdef_term

It is often convenient to place a tab after the label, but this is not strictly necessary, as the conversion process strips tabs.

For lists embedded in other structures, use paragraph styles like the following:

SIDE-LISTdef-1_para
