Paste a List from Another Document
If you copy a nested bulleted list (a list within a list) from Microsoft Word and
paste the list into multiline text, the bullets that are displayed as empty circles
cannot be formatted like other bullets in multiline text. This is because Word
uses the letter 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.
To format multiline text as a list
1 Click Home tab ➤ Annotation panel ➤ Multiline Text.
2 Specify opposite corners of a bounding box to define the width of the
multiline text object.
3 To expand the Text Formatting toolbar, click Options button ➤ Show
Options.
4 If you are converting multiline text to a list, select the paragraphs.
NOTE List formatting is only available when the Allow Bullets and Lists option
is checked (the default).
5 On the expanded toolbar, click Numbering, Bullets, or Uppercase Letters.
■ Numbering. Uses numbers with periods for the items in a list.
■ Bullets. Uses a bullet or other character for the items in a list.
■ Uppercase Letters. Uses uppercase letters with periods for the items
in a list. If the list has more items than the alphabet has letters, the
sequence continues by using double letters. To use lowercase letters,
right-click in the editor. Click Bullets and Lists ➤ Lettered ➤
Lowercase.
6 If you are creating new list items, enter the text.
