Tip
If you notice unexpected formatting changes occurring in your
document, this is the first place to look for the cause.
To turn autoformatting on or off, go to Format > AutoFormat (Figure
67) and select or deselect the items on the submenu.

• While Typing automatically formats the document while you
type.
• If While Typing is deselected, you can select Apply to
automatically format the file.
• Apply and Edit Changes automatically formats the file and then
opens a dialog box where you can accept or reject the changes.
Creating numbered or bulleted lists
There are several ways to create numbered or bulleted lists:
• Use autoformatting, as described above.
• Use list styles, as described in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
• Use the Numbering and Bullets icons on the paragraph
formatting toolbar (see Figure 58). This last method is described
here.
To produce a numbered or bulleted list, select the paragraphs in the
list and then click on the appropriate icon on the toolbar.
