Paste a List from Another Document
If you copy a nested bulleted list (a list within a list) from a word processor
and paste the list into a multiline text, the bullets that are displayed as empty
circles might not be formatted like other bullets in multiline text. This is
because the bullet might be a letter, such as o, instead of a bullet for nested
bulleted lists. You can remove formatting from the nested list and reapply to
change the bullets to double bullets.
Indent Multiline Text and Use Tabs
You can control how paragraphs are indented in a multiline text (mtext)
object. The ruler in the In-Place Text Editor shows the settings for the current
paragraph.
Tabs and indents that you set before you start to enter text apply to the whole
multiline text object. To apply different tabs and indents to individual
paragraphs, click in a single paragraph or select multiple paragraphs and then
change the settings.
Sliders on the ruler show indentation relative to the left side of the bounding
box. The top slider indents the first line of the paragraph, and the bottom
slider indents the other lines of the paragraph.
The long tick marks on the ruler show the default tab stops. If you click the
ruler to set your own tabs, the ruler displays a small, L-shaped marker at each
custom tab stop. You can delete a custom tab stop by dragging the marker off
the ruler.
