In using a multi-level list, I want 14 pt.s, bold at the highest promotion level (“1”). Then, for lower levels (“1.1,” “1.1.1,” etc.), I want 12 pt.s, not bold. Additionally, I want to establish the indentation the same way, so that merely demoting/promoting an item will affect its indentation in ways I have specified.



How do I set up styles, or a style, so that merely changing the promotion of an item will cause it to inherit the style for that level (margins, font, etc.)?

Link your levels to styles following, exactly, the procedures outlined at:
