Creating a List
If you want to add lists to your document, Word allows you to do so quite easily. To do so, follow these steps:
- Type your list, only pressing Enter at the end of each item in the list. If an item runs more than one line, do not press Enter at the end of each line (let the text wrap to the next line automatically).
- Select all the items in the list.
- To create a numbered list, click on the Numbering tool in the Formatting toolbar.
- To create a bulleted list, click on the Bullets tool in the Formatting toolbar.
