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. See “Generating
Lists Automatically” on page 95 for information about automatic list generation.
You can also add a bulleted list style by using the List button in the Format Bar. Place
the insertion point where you want the list to begin, click the List button in the Format
Bar, and then select Bullet.
To add and format a bulleted list using the Text Inspector:
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 List.
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.
Click to make list styles
appear in the Styles drawer.
Select a list style to apply it
to selected text.
