Defining the paragraph style for the bibliography
You can modify the Bibliography 1 paragraph style to suit your requirements. For example, to
number the entries in the bibliography list, you need to define a numbering style and link that
numbering style to the Bibliography 1 paragraph style. To do this:
1) On the Styles and Formatting window, click on the List Styles icon. You can either define a
new list style or modify one of those supplied. In this example, we will modify the
Numbering 1 style. Right-click on Numbering 1 and choose Modify from the context menu.
2) On the Numbering Style dialog, go to the Options page. In our example we want to have
the numbers enclosed in square brackets. To do this, type [ in the Before box and ] in the
After box, as shown in Figure 372.

3) Now go to the Position page of the Numbering style dialog. In the Spacing to text box,
specify how much indentation you want for the second and following lines of any item in the
bibliography list of your document. Often you will need to experiment a bit to see what is
the best setting. In our example (Figure 373), we have chosen 1 cm.
