Need to be able to do this in a tiered list:
| 1. |
Header 3 | Header 4 | Header 5 | Header 6 | Header 7 | Header 8 | Header 9 | Header 10 | Header 11 | Header 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2. | ||||||||||
| 3. | a) | |||||||||
| b) | ||||||||||
| c) | ||||||||||
| 4. | ||||||||||
| 5. | a) | |||||||||
| b) | ||||||||||
| c) |
If there is a way to to it currently I would love to hear it.

In Pages you set styles by example.
Select the text > Inspector > Text > List > set each level the way you want it:
Then save as a List Style in the Styles Drawer:

Thanks for the reply Peter I'm aware of the functionality you described.
However when you have set up a custom list is there a way of using it to achieve the result in my origninal post? Eg. notice how the number 3 in my original post has the next tier of the list (letters) starting directly from that point, rather than in your example where every list item in the first tier of the list must have contents, followed by the next tier items.
I hope that makes sense, basically if I have a list of questions labelled 1. 2. 3a. 3b. 3c. (but no 3.) I want a list that enables me to insert answers for all these questions.
Edit: Also another question, when you make cutom lists as you have described, they seem to only be available for the document they were created in, is there any way to make a global custom list that can be used in all Pages documents?
No, because that would be 2 levels on one paragraph.
You can work around it by manually inserting the a after a tab and starting the next indent at b instead of a.
You would not want the consequences of global styles. You would unknowingly be changing documents you don't have open, altering their appearance and layout. Great way to chase your tail and ruin all previous work!
Styles can be imported from one document to another, but creating templates is the best solution.

Ok cool thanks for the answers Peter 🙂
