Does the latest InDesign update include a way to achieve multi-level bullet lists like Word? Or is there a better way to achieve this with less paragraph styles?
As far as I know, InDesign doesn’t have a way to create multi-level “bullet” list like Word does. But, I was hoping there might be a GREP, nesting function, or something to ‘trick’ InDesign into achieving this without so may paragraph styles. Like making it think bullet level 1, 2 and 3 are the same paragraph so I can use the Space Between Paragraphs Using Same Style function… maybe an “if level 1 followed by level 2, ignore space after” type thing.
I have the following paragraph styles:
– Bullet (before & after space 1p0, 0p0 space between, circle bullet, 1p0 indent) for bullet lists with only one level.
– Bullet Multi Space Before (only space before, circle bullet, 1p0 indent).
– Bullet Multi (0 space before & after, circle bullet, 1p0 indent).
– Bullet Multi Space After (only space after, circle bullet, 1p0 indent) if last item before body.
– Bullet Multi 2L (0 space before & after, empty bullet, 2p0 indent).
– Bullet Multi 2L Space After (only space after, empty bullet, 2p0 indent) if last item before body.
– Bullet Multi 3L (0 space before & after, carrot bullet, 3p0 indent).
– Bullet Multi 3L Space After (only space after, carrot bullet, 3p0 indent) if last item before body.
