Formatting Bulleted and Numbered Lists

Working with lists

Watch the video! (7:40 min)

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.
