Working with Lists

To apply a list item format:

1. Click with the mouse to place the insertion point within the line of text that you want to format.
2. Open the "Format" menu and choose "List."
3. Choose the list style:


• Bulleted: Each item has a bullet (dot) next to it (as in this item).


2. Numbered: Items are numbered (like this example).



Term and Definition:

These two styles work together, creating a glossary-style appearance. Use the "Term" tag for the word being defined, and the "Definition" tag for the definition. The Term text appears flush left, and the Definition text appears indented (as used here).

To change the style of bullets or numbers:

1. Click to place the insertion point within the text of the list item you want to change, or select one or more items in the list if you want to apply a new style to the entire list.
2. Open the "Format" menu and choose "List Properties."
3. Select a bullet or number style from the drop-down list. For numbered lists, you can specify a starting number. For bulleted lists, you can change the bullet style.

Tip: You can also double-click on a bullet or number in a list to display the List Properties dialog box.
