              Bulleted and Numbered lists

              Bullet Lists
                    You can turn any text into a bulleted list by selecting the text and then selecting
                     the bulleted list button on the InfoBar.

              Each paragraph of text becomes a separate bullet. If you press return to finish a line at
              the end of one bullet point, the next line starts with a bullet point too. If you hit backspace
              immediately after the return, the last empty bullet is removed, text cursor remains at the
              same position and allows you to continue adding text to the previous bullet point.
              To finish entering a bulleted list, hit return on the end of the last bullet and then
              immediately hit return again on the new bulleted line. This removes the last empty
              bulleted line and allows you to start entering normal text again. Or you can just turn off
              the list button on the InfoBar.

                    You can nest bulleted lists by pressing the indent button on the InfoBar. This
                     indents the current bulleted line and changes the bullet character to a different
                    style, to distinguish it from the parent bullet.


















              Example of a nested bulleted list
                     To move a bullet point from a sub-list into its parent bulleted list, simply place
                      the text caret in it and press the outdent button.
              So it’s easy to make and edit arrangements of nested bulleted lists using the indent and
              outdent buttons.
              Numbered Lists

                    You can create and edit numbered lists in just the same way as described for
                     bullet lists above, using the numbered list button.

              You can choose the numbering scheme to be used for each list, using the NUMBERED
              LIST section of the LIST PROPERTIES dialog. Place the text cursor in one of the numbered
