Yeah I suppose I should describe things a little bit
here seeing as how the dialog is totally empty. The
white area on the right hand side will be a live preview
of the list that you are creating (hopefully with the
content coming from your current document, but maybe
not initially.
For a straighforward usage you would pick a predefined
list type and style and then determine what you want
to happen to the list (create a new list, affect the
current list or start a new sub list).
For more options you can customize the list (based
on the baseline list you selected) with the actual
text entry, indent levels etc.
Without filler it looks kind of bare right now.
