Formatting Numbered Lists

Although you can use automatic list generation to create a simple numbered list, using
the Text inspector gives you many options for formatting numbered lists. See “Creating
Lists” on page 100 for information about creating a list automatically.

You can also choose a numbered list style in the Styles drawer. Click the Styles Drawer
button in the format bar, and then select the list style. If you don’t see list styles in the
Styles drawer, click the button in the lower-right corner of the drawer to make the
styles appear.

Here are ways to format a numbered list:
Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin, click the List button in the

m

format bar, and then choose Numbered List.
