Operation Manual

Using the Bullets and Numbering toolbar
You can create nested lists (where one or more list items has a sub-list under it, as in an outline)
by using the buttons on the Bullets and Numbering toolbar (Figure 77). You can move items up or
down the list, or create sub-points, and even change the style of bullets. Use View > Toolbars >
Bullets and Numbering to see the toolbar.
Note
If numbering or bullets are being applied automatically in a way that you find
inappropriate, you can switch them off temporarily by unchecking Format >
AutoCorrect > While Typing.

Hyphenating words
You have several choices regarding hyphenation: let Writer do it automatically (using its
hyphenation dictionaries), insert conditional hyphens manually where necessary, or don’t
hyphenate at all.

To turn automatic hyphenation of words on or off:
1) Press F11 (z+T on Mac) to open the Styles and Formatting window.
2) On the Paragraph Styles page (Figure 78), right-click on Default and select Modify.
