Word: Lists

Lists are a great way to draw attention to an area and a good way to organize your paper. For lists where the items must remain sequential, like the procedure below, use a numbered list. For lists of items where the sequence does not matter, like the list under Alternative Methods, use a bulleted list.

Procedure for Creating a List

1. On the home tab, select the "Numbered List" or "Bulleted List" icon.
2. Begin typing.

Alternative Methods

• To start a bulleted list, type the asterisk (shift + 8), tap your Spacebar and begin typing. Word starts the bulleted list.
• To start a numbered list, type 1, type period, tap your space bar, Word starts a numbered list.
