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.
Apply List Formatting
When you apply list formatting, you can specify bullets, uppercase or lowercase
letters, or numbers. Default settings are used for the type of list you choose.
Letters or numbers are followed by a period. Nested lists use a double bullet,
letter, or number. Items are indented based on the tab stops on the ruler in
the In-Place Text Editor.
Use Auto-list to Type a List
When Auto-list is on, you can create a list as you type. You can use letters,
numbers, or symbols.
For example, in the editor, enter \U+25CB, press Tab, and then enter some
text. This creates a empty circle style bullet.
Not all symbols are available from the character map for a particular text font.
However, if you specify the Unicode text directly (\U+25CB in this case), you
can always get the bullet format of your choice.
NOTE Press Tab after you enter the Unicode text or symbol, or it will remain a
separate character.
You can also paste a symbol from the Characters dialog box
The following characters can be used as punctuation after the number or letter
when you type a list but cannot be used as bullets:
DescriptionCharacter
Period.
