Related API Members

The following members return NumberingList objects:

• NumberingListCollection.Add(Int32)
• NumberingListCollection.CreateNew(Int32)

Remarks

The NumberingList object is based on an abstract numbering definition which can be accessed via the NumberingList.AbstractNumberingList property.

Document paragraphs are included into a numbering list by using the ParagraphCollection.AddParagraphsToList method.

The list to which a specific paragraph belongs can be obtained via the Paragraph.ListIndex property.

For an example of use see the AbstractNumberingList article.
