Working with Text
To add and format a numbered 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 Numbers from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu, and then choose a
numbering style from the pop-up menu directly below it.
4
To adjust the space between numbers and the left margin, use the Number Indent
field. To adjust the space between numbers and text, use the Text Indent field.
Use these techniques to add and indent items in your list:
 To add a new topic at the current indent level, press Return.
 To create an unnumbered 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
number, 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.
 To add an existing paragraph to a numbered list, click the paragraph, choose a
numbering style, and click “Continue from previous.”
 To start a new numbered sequence in a list, click “Start at” and specify the number
you want the sequence to begin with.
If you want items in your list to have labeled subtopics (like in an outline), use an
ordered list instead of a numbered list.
Using Ordered Lists (Outlines)
Ordered lists (or outlines) provide different numbering styles for each indent level in a
list, allowing you to create a hierarchy of information. For example:
 You can create an outline using a numbering sequence such as the following as you
proceed from the highest level to lower levels: I, A, 1, a), (1), (a), i), (1), and (a).
 You can create a legal style outline, which appends an additional number or letter at
each lower level: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, and so on.
You can add and format ordered lists using the Text Inspector.
To add and format an ordered list:
