Operation Manual

If you are pasting text in a text box, you can still use styles to format the text quickly. Only one
graphic style can be applied to the pasted text, as follows:
1) Paste the text in the desired position.
2) Select the text you have just pasted.
3) Select the desired graphic style to format the text.
4) Apply any necessary manual formatting to the text to change font attributes, tabs, and so
on.
Creating bulleted and numbered lists
The procedure to create a bulleted or numbered list is quite different depending on the type of text
box used, although the tools to manage the list and customize the appearance are the same. In
AutoLayout text boxes, the outline styles available are, by default, bulleted lists. For normal text
boxes an additional step is required to create a bulleted list.
AutoLayout text boxes
AutoLayout text boxes included in the available layouts are already formatted as a bulleted list.
Create a slide with a bulleted list as follows:
1) From the Layout pane, choose a slide design that contains a text box.
2) In the text box, click on Click to add text.
3) Type your text and press the Enter key to start a new bulleted point.
The default list type is a bulleted list. Methods for changing the appearance of a list are explained
in “Changing list appearance” on page 175.
Tip
Press Shift+Enter to start a new line without creating a new bullet point. The new line
will have the same indentation as the previous line. To switch off bullets altogether, click
the Bullets On/Off icon on the Text Formatting toolbar. If the Text Formatting
toolbar is not displayed, go to View > Toolbar > Text Formatting on the Menu bar.
Text boxes
Create a bulleted list in a text box as follows:
1) Click the Text icon on the Standard toolbar and draw a text box on your slide.
2) Click the Bullets On/Off icon on the Text Formatting toolbar.
3) Type the text and press Enter to start a new bulleted line.
The default list type is a bulleted list. Methods for changing the appearance of a list are explained
in “Changing list appearance” on page 175.
Creating a new outline level
In AutoLayout text boxes, create a new outline level as follows:
1) If necessary, press Enter to begin a new list entry.
2) To demote a list entry (move it to the right), press the Tab key or click the Demote (right
arrow) icon on the Text Formatting toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+Right.
The list entry moves to the right and is indented to the next outline level.
