Create a new list
1 In the Dreamweaver document, place the insertion point where you want to add a list, then do one of the following:
• In the HTML Property inspector, click either the Bulleted or Numbered List button.
• Select Format > List and select the type of list desired—Unordered (bulleted) List, Ordered (numbered) List, or
Definition List.
The leading character for the specified list item appears in the Document window.
2 Type the list item text, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to create another list item.
3 To complete the list, press Enter twice (Windows) or press Return twice (Macintosh).
Create a list using existing text
1 Select a series of paragraphs to make into a list.
2 In the HTML Property inspector, click the Bulleted or Numbered List button, or select Format > List and select the
type of list desired—Unordered List, Ordered List, or Definition List.
Create a nested list
1 Select the list items you want to nest.
2 In the HTML Property inspector, click the Blockquote button, or select Format > Indent.
Dreamweaver indents the text and creates a separate list with the original list’s HTML attributes.

Set list properties for an entire list
1 In the Document window, create at least one list item. The new style will automatically apply to additional items
you add to the list.
2 With the insertion point in the list item’s text, select Format > List > Properties to open the List Properties dialog box.
3 Set the options you want to define the list:
List Type Specifies list properties while List Item specifies an individual item in a list. Use the pop-up menu to select
a bulleted, numbered, directory, or menu list. Depending on the List Type you select different options appear in the
dialog box.
Style Determines the style of numbers or bullets used for a numbered or bulleted list. All items in the list will have this
style unless you specify a new style for items within the list.
Start Count Sets the value for the first item in a numbered list.
4 Click OK to set the choices.
