Apple AppleWorks 5 : Windows 95/NT 4.0 - Manual (Page 75)

Text (word processing) 4-11
Tip for hanging indents After setting up your tabs, you can set apart hanging
indents by typing a character, such as a number or bullet, in the margin to the
left of the paragraph. (To type a bullet, hold down Alt and then type 0149 on
the keypad.) Press Tab, and then begin typing the paragraph. To type other
special characters, use the Windows Character Map. For more information,
see the documentation that comes with your computer.
Adding bullets, numbers, and checkboxes to paragraphs
AppleWorks comes with a series of special characters—called paragraph
styles—that you can use to convert paragraphs to lists, such as bulleted lists,
numbered lists, and checklists.
Tip If you want to label most or all of the paragraphs in a document, use an
outline style. See “Outlining” on page 4-13 for more information.
To create a list, select one or more paragraphs and click the pop-up menu on
the text ruler and choose a paragraph style. Or choose Paragraph from the Format
menu, and choose a paragraph style, such as Bullet, Check Box, or Numeric from the
pop-up menu, and then click OK. If you don’t see the paragraph label on your
text, type a number (such as .25) for Left Indent in the Paragraph dialog box.
To reorder labeled paragraphs, click to the left of a paragraph label and drag
the paragraph to a new place in the outline. (Or choose a Move command from
the Outline menu.) In an ordered list, AppleWorks relabels the moved item.
