Chapter 4 Formatting Text and Paragraphs 97
To create a bulleted or numbered list:
1 Place the cursor in the first line where you want to begin typing list text.
2 Click List in the toolbar, and then choose the list style that you want to use.
You can also choose a list style in the Styles drawer. Click View in the toolbar and
choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show Styles Drawer), and then select
the list style you want. (If you don’t see list styles in the Styles drawer, click the button
in the lower-right corner of the drawer to make them appear.)
Each template may have different list styles. Most templates provide at least the
following list styles for simple bulleted or numbered lists:
 Bullet: Provides basic, round bullets
 Numbered List: Uses Arabic numerals
3 Type your text, pressing Return wherever you want to begin a new bulleted (or
numbered) line.
4 To include subtext under a bulleted or numbered point, press Shift-Return (called a
line break) to start the next line without bulleting or numbering it. Press Return again
at the end of the line to return to a new bulleted or numbered line.
5 When you are finished typing your list, click List in the toolbar and choose None, or
click None in the Styles drawer.
You can create your own list styles using other text or image bullets provided by
Pages, or using your own image as a bullet. Numbered lists can also have varied
numbering styles, or use letters instead. To learn about modifying or creating your
own list style, see “Modifying and Creating New List Styles” on page 117.
Creating Ordered Lists (Outlines)
Some list styles are formatted to create ordered lists (or outlines). For example, the
Harvard list style provides different numbering styles for each indent level in your list,
allowing you to create a hierarchy of information.
Click to make list styles
appear in the Styles
drawer.
Select a list style to apply
it to selected text.
