    Lesson 20

    Working with Lists

    Introduction
    Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in your documents
    to format, arrange, and emphasize text. In this lesson, you will
    learn how to modify existing bullets, insert
    new bulleted and numbered lists, select symbols as bullets, and
    format multilevel lists.

    Using bulleted and numbered lists

    When you want to organize lists in Word, you can format them as
    either bulleted or numbered lists. Word offers a variety of bullet
    options that allow you to customize your lists to suit your needs.

    Optional: You can download this example for extra practice.

    To create a list:

    1. Select the text you want to format as a list.


    2. Click the Bullets or Numbering drop-down arrow on the Home tab.

    Multilevel lists

    Multilevel lists allow you to create an outline with multiple levels. In fact, you can turn any
    bulleted or numbered list into a multilevel list by placing the insertion point at the beginning
    of a line and pressing the Tab key to change the level for that line. You can then use
    the Multilevel List command to choose the types of bullets or numbering that are used.
