When you have a list of items to include in a document, you can format it as either a bulleted list or a numbered list. Adding a new item to a list will automatically insert a bullet, or a sequential number, in front of the item.
Bulleted and Numbered Lists
When you have a list of items, you can add list formatting to insert numbers or bullets and make it stand out.
- Select the text you want to make a list.
- Click the Numbered list or Bulleted list button.
- Numbered list: Automatically insert numbers before each list item; best when sequence is important.
- Bulleted list: Automatically insert a shape before each list item; best when sequence doesn’t matter.
Change List Style
While both bulleted and numbered lists have a default style, you can change the bullet style or numbering style for your lists.
- Select a list.
- Click the Numbered list or Bulleted list button list arrow.
- Select a list style.
Depending on which style of list you’re using, you can choose a new symbol for the bullets or a different numbering style, such as roman numerals.
Change List Levels
Lists can also have multiple levels, allowing a list item to be part of a higher-level item.
- Click in a list item.
- Click the Increase indent or Decrease indent button.
