Nested numbers

How do I get the following to work?

1. item
2. item
3. item
a. nested item
b. nested item
4. item
5. item
c. nested item (should restart at a)
d. nested item

I've tried everything obvious, i.e., right-click and select restart
numbering, etc. Should I create another identical style, except in name, so
Word can see the obvious?

Thanks for your help.

Oops! Sorry! Moved the question to Word Numbering.

This is called "outline numbering." To set it up unbreakably, see
