-Many legal documents and reports come with numbered and lettered lists, and sub-lists. We want to keep the document as close to the original as possible, so it is best to use hidden lists. This means it will look like it only has ''normal'' style, but the underlying code will be a list or nested list, so that users can more easily navigate.+Many legal documents and reports come with numbered and lettered lists, and sub-lists. We want to keep the document as close to the original as possible, so it is best to use what is called a blank or hidden list to any sub-lists. This means **it will look** like it only has ''normal'' style, but the underlying code will be have a list applied to the sub-lists, so that users can more easily navigate. 
 + 
 +Here is a [[https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqiQrdOIob|Tutorial for creating Blank Lists.]] 
 + 
 +First make sure all styles are cleared from the document, then apply ''normal'' style.  Once you have done this you can create the lists. The process is similar to applying Unordered Lists, but you select the **blank bullet character** instead of a standard bullet option. 
 +You will then note that though the document looks the same, there is now a ''List Paragraph'' style in the style pane.

 +**Example** 
 + 
 +Here is a visual example of what it will look like when you are done. Note: That is looks like there are no lists applied, and the style is still set to ''normal''. Again, this is due to the nature of blank/hidden lists.
