How can I create a nested list with letters, numbers, and bullets?

Question

Can someone please help me with the issue I am having? I want to created a nested list with letters, numbers and bullets. I am new to FrameMaker, and I am editing a template I have to follow for work in unstructured FrameMaker. I am on instruction step 43, so I need to keep those numbers going for the instruction steps. The substep paragraph tags are already created. I need to create a paragraph tag that includes the bulleted sub sub step. I figured out how to create the new paragraph tag, and was able to make the bullet, however, I cannot get the cursor to start after a tab after the bullet. It starts with no spacing after the bullet like the numbers do. I have insterted a \t after the bullet in the paragraph designer. The bullet is starting at the correct indent spot (I made the first indent the correct number in the basic editor) please help!

See example below:

If you have a look at the supplied templates with FM, you can get examples of implementations for multiple numbering styles (File > New click on Explore Standard Templates and then scroll down to the Outlines, pick one and click Show Sample).

Here are also some links to various tutorials and papers on doing this:
