You can also choose the numbering scheme to be used for each list, using the
LIST
PROPERTIES
dialog. Place the text cursor in one of the numbered list points, press the
right mouse button and choose ‘
LIST PROPERTIES…" from the context menu.
In the dialog you can choose from a variety of numbering schemes and also enter the
value that should be used for the very first entry in the list. Then the number is
automatically incremented for the second and subsequent entries in the list.
Graphical Bulleted and Numbered Lists
You can use any graphic for the bullet or number in a list. You can design your own
bullets and numbered lists by using any of the normal drawing or text tools, or use
one of the many bullet designs from the Designs Gallery (under
PAGE ELEMENTS >
GRAPHIC ELEMENTS > BULLETS). Create a simple circle using the Ellipse Tool for
example, give it a fill and a drop shadow, and copy it to the clipboard. Then highlight
the list you want to apply the style to using the Text Tool. Right click the list and
choose Paste as list bullet from the menu. The design will now appear as a bullet for
each of the list items.
For a numbered list it's exactly the same procedure except you group a text item with
your graphic and then select Paste as list number to replace all the numbers or text
items in your list. The text object in the group is used to show the number.
Line spacing
Line spacing allows you to change the space between two lines
(so affects vertical spacing).
