Creating a numbered list

Numbers can be applied to single lines of text, or one or more paragraphs of text.

  1. Select the text that is to be numbered.

  2. Select the Numbers button image\numbers.gif

The selected text will be redrawn with numbers, in sequence, preceding the first line of each paragraph (or the lines of a list). The position where the number appears, along the left-hand page margin, is called the first level.

Use the Increase Indent button image\indincr.gif to increase the level so that the text moves to the right (or select the Increase Indent command from the Format menu). The numbers are re-sequenced so that the next level is shown with an extra digit. For example, two levels will resemble this:

A third level would show three digits and so on.

Use the Decrease Indent button image\indincr.gif to decrease the level so that the text moves to the left (or select the Decrease Indent command from the Format menu).
