I'm trying to make an outline for a paper I'm writing, but I can't figure out how to make a numbered list that looks like an outline. I want it to look something like this: I. Introduction A. Background B. Thesis statement II. Body A. Point 1 Subpoint Subpoint B. Point 2 Subpoint Subpoint III. Conclusion A. Restatement of thesis B. Implications C. Recommendations But I can't figure out how to make the subpoints indented like that. Can anyone help?

There are two ways to make a numbered list look like an outline: Use a bulleted list with sub-items. Use a definition list with terms and descriptions. Use a nested list. Here's an example of each: Bulleted list with sub-items: Item 1 Sub-item 1 Sub-item 2 Item 2 Sub-item 1 Sub-item 2 Definition list with terms and descriptions: Term 1 Description 1 Term 2 Description 2 Nested list: Item 1 Sub-item 1 Sub-item 2 Item 2 Sub-item 1 Sub-item 2

How can I create a numbered list with an outline look?

There are two ways to make a numbered list look like an outline:

Use a bulleted list with sub-items.
Use a definition list with terms and descriptions.
Use a nested list.

Here's an example of each:

Bulleted list with sub-items:
Item 1
- Sub-item 1
- Sub-item 2
Item 2
- Sub-item 1
- Sub-item 2
Definition list with terms and descriptions:
Term 1
Description 1
Term 2
Description 2
Nested list:
Item 1
1. Sub-item 1
2. Sub-item 2
Item 2
1. Sub-item 1
2. Sub-item 2
