Oh, you (and everyone) should be: they are a powerful facility that

Actually, I don't know that I can. But list styles do exist (see the 
Styles and Formatting window) and ought to be an efficient way to 
format lists. Either create your own or apply an existing one and 
modify it to your needs.

This is a good example of how they can be helpful. Once you have 
settled on exactly how you want your lists to appear, if you have 
formatted them using a list style you can save that style in a 
template or else very easily import it from an existing document to a 
new one. This saves you attempting to repeat the work for each new document.
