The book says: "You can also design your own custom outline notation by creating a new list style (see page 91). Figure 2-14 shows an example of how you can mix and match list styles with a nested list." Page 91 relates to Spell Checking, and I could not find instructions to creating a new list style elsewhere. Could you provide further details? Note from the Author or Editor: |

Wow - there is an example here of a table reference 'Produces-1' in single quotes. I have no idea what this kind of reference means or if it is even legal - yet your screen shot implies you can do this. You should change this to be a normal reference or add a section addressing these kind of references and teach us what this is all about. Note from the Author or Editor: |

So those first 2 sentences have to be rewritten or the screen shot has to be redone to illustrate your point. Note from the Author or Editor: |
