Bold first level of numbered list

[tmk]

Hi all, this has been giving me a lot of trouble, and it's been a bit confusing. Tried searching online but nothing directly related, or nothing worked for me. Basically, all I'd like to do is have my list styled in this method:


1. Item 1 bold
a) sub item 1 regular


2. Item 2 bold
a) sub item 2 regular


I'm working on a template, so I'd like the user to be able to have this already set up once they start a numbered list.



But no matter what I try, the sub item/second level of the list is always bold. I've tried playing with "Styles", "Define new multilevel list"...everything, but I can't seem to get it to do this. I'm also very confused as how these different settings talk/overwrite each other. It seems like there are 3 different ways to do the same thing, but not sure which takes precedent and why there are these many ways to do the same thing.





Any help, or direction would be appreciated. Even you can walk me through this as if it's a blank slate. I might have broken something along the way, so I don't mind starting over again.


Thanks!
