I dont's know if it's implemented in the trail version but Richview has

advanced options for bullets and numbering that matches MS Word. Richview

supports multi-level lists as in your example.

It's done with listmarkers. Search in the index of the help file for 'list

marker' for help. The demo in '\Delphi\Assorted\ListStyles\Bullets' shows

how to add a simple one level lists. If you want more complex lists you have

to add more levels to the list.

With help of the actions add-on which can be downloaded from the site you

you quickly build a text editor without any programming effort. This action

add-on has a actions wich shows a dialog to add or edit lists simular to the

one in MS Word.
