Create Lists in Multiline Text
You can create bulleted lists, lettered or numbered lists, or simple outlines in
multiline text.
Lines of multiline text can be formatted as a list. When you add or delete an
item, or move an item up or down a level, the list numbering automatically
adjusts. You can remove and reapply list formatting with the same method
as used in most text editors.
Use Automatic List Formatting
By default, list formatting is applied to all text that looks like a list. Text that
meets all the following criteria is considered to be a list:
The line begins with one or more letters or numbers or a symbol.
The letters or numbers is followed by punctuation.
A space after the punctuation is created by pressing Tab.
The text following the space is ended by Enter or Shift-Enter.
NOTE If you do not want list formatting applied to all text that fits the criteria,
clear the Allow Bullets and Lists option. (Right-click in the In-Place Text Editor,
click Bullets and Lists Allow Bullets and Lists.) When Allow Bullets and Lists is
not checked, you cannot create new formatted lists in the multiline text object.
To create a list, use one of the following methods:
Apply list formatting to new or selected text.
Use Auto-list (on by default) and type the elements of a list.
With Auto-list off, type the elements of a list and close and reopen the
editor to convert the text to a list.
