How to Create Sublists in MS Word 2007

Make Sublists from the Gallery
1. Place the cursor on the document where you want to create a list with sublists. If you already have text that you want to format as a list and sublists, select that text using the mouse.
2. Go to the 'Home' tab of the ribbon, where all of the commands are organized. Click the drop-down arrow next to the 'Multilevel List' button, which is the third button from the left at the top of the 'Paragraph' group.
3. Choose a list and sublist style from the gallery and click on it to select it.
4. Type your list. To add sublists under a list item, press the 'Enter' key after the item and then press the 'Tab' key.
5. Make another level of sublists if desired. Press the 'Enter' key at the end of an item in the sublist and press the 'Tab' key to create a third level. Repeat to create as many levels of sublists as you require.
