Custom numbered lists

Under the "Numbered" tab in "Bullets and Numbering," there are only 7
options for formatting numbered lists.

A client sent me a file with numbered lists like this "(x)"

He is clearly using PPT's numbering function to do this, but when I open
"Bullets and numbering," none of the presets are chosen. I can change his
style to another preset, but I can't seem to edit those numbering options
(to create his style elsewhere in the presentation.)

And I can't seem to copy the style of one of his numbered boxes to another
(via format painter or PPT Extreme's Pickup Position Format)

Anyone know how to customize numbered lists?

Can you select any part of the number or the parentheses?

I wonder if the text was pasted in from a Word document with a custom bullet
list format.

That's exactly it!

Now I just have to create the notes in Word and copy them over.

Thanks!
