Creating numbered lists

There are two ways to create numbered lists. You can format lines of existing text, or you can start a new numbered list on a new line and then type the text. Each paragraph is numbered sequentially.

  1. Select the text (one or more paragraphs) to format.

  2. Click Numbered List .

  1. Click where you want to start the numbered list.

  2. Click Numbered List . The first number is added, and the insertion point moves to the indent.

  3. Type the first numbered list item, and press ENTER. The second number is added, and the insertion point again moves to the indent.

  4. Continue typing numbered list items on new lines until you complete the entire list.

  5. To end the list, click the Numbered List button again (it works as an on/off switch).

Tip: You can apply different number formats to the list items. Select the numbered topic text. Then from the Format menu, select Bullets and Numbering and choose the number or letter style to apply. (Click the WYSIWYG thumbnail sample to select the format you want to use.)
