Using Bulleted Lists
Although you can use automatic list generation to create a simple bulleted list, using
the Text Inspector gives you many options for formatting bulleted lists
To add and format a bulleted list:
1 Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click Bullets.
3 Choose a bullet style from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu.
To use a typed character as a bullet, choose Text Bullets and choose a character from
the list or type a new character in the field.
To use one of the image bullets that comes with Keynote, choose Image Bullets and
choose an image from the scrolling list.
To use your own image as a bullet, choose Custom Image and choose an image in the
Open dialog that appears.
4 To change the size of an image bullet, specify a percentage of the original image size in
the Size field. Or, select the “Scale with text” checkbox and specify a percentage of the
text size; this option maintains the image-to-text size ratio of the bullets even if you
later change the font size of text.
5 To adjust the space between bullets and the left margin, use the Bullet Indent field. To
adjust the space between bullets and text, use the Text Indent field.
6 To position bullets higher or lower relative to text, use the Align field.
Use these techniques to add and indent bulleted items in your list:
 To add a new topic at the current indent level, press Return.
 To create an unbulleted paragraph within a topic, press Return while holding down
the Shift key.
 To enter a new topic at the next lower or higher indent level, press Return and click
one of the arrows adjacent to the Indent Level field. You can also click and hold a
bullet, and then drag to the right, to the left, down and to the right, or down and to
the left.
 To return to regular text at the end of your list, press Return twice, or press Return
and choose No Bullets from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu. You may also
need to adjust the indent level.
Using 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
“Generating Lists Automatically” on page 56 for information about automatic list
generation.
