Creating and manipulating lists

Lists are a consecutive amount of paragraphs being displayed with a symbol separating each paragraph at the beginning. There can be ordered lists, which follow an order such as 1., 2., 3., 4. or a., b., c., d. and unordered lists following no specific order such as lists with a bullet symbol at the beginning of each paragraph.

Lists can be created in two ways

1. start list formatting and then type content in the form of list items as needed or
2. type in content and then switch on list formatting for recently typed paragraphs

Turning list formatting on or off

To turn list formatting on or off

- place the caret to the position list formatting shall be switched on or off or
- select a text portion for which list formatting shall be switched on or off and
- select 'Bulleted list on/off' or 'Numbered list on/off' from menu 'Format'

Alternately, respective toggle buttons in the tool bar can be used as well.

Caret movement inside lists

While typing text, the caret moves similar to a region not being formatted as list. Pressing [Enter] while the caret is inside a list will create a new list item after the item the caret is currently in.

Changing the list formatting

List format can be changed individually through a list format dialog too. The list format dialog can be used to change the list type (bulleted, numbered, bullet symbol and order criteria) as well as the indentation of a list. To change list formatting individually

- select the the text portion to change list formatting for
- select 'List...' from menu 'Format'
- make settings in the list format dialog and
- press 'OK'
