Working with lists

You can use bulleted or numbered lists to draw attention to certain parts of your publication. They can help you break large blocks of text into much smaller and easier-to-read chunks. You can also change the style of the numbers or bullets in your lists.

To create a list:

Select the text you want to format as a list.
Click the Number or Bullet list icon on the Formatting toolbar.
Position your cursor at the end of a list item, and press the Enter key to add an item to the list.
To remove numbers or bullets from a list, select the list and click the Number or Bullet list icon, whichever corresponds to the type of list.

To customize lists:

Select all text in an existing list.
Select FormatBullets and Numbering on the main menu. The Bullets and Numbering dialog box will appear.
Click the Bullets or Numbers tab corresponding to your list.
Depending on the type of list, you can change the following:
- Bullet character or number format
- Bullet or number size
- Spacing between bullet or number and text
To use a different character as a bullet:
- Click Character in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box.
- Select a font from the list to see the available characters.
- Select a character, then click OK.
- Click OK in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box.
