Creating a List

Summary: You can format both numbered and bulleted lists very easily in Word. The tools available on the Formatting toolbar or on the Home tab of the ribbon make it a snap. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you want to add lists to your document, Word allows you to do so quite easily. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Type your list, only pressing Enter at the end of each item in the list. If an item runs more than one line, do not press Enter at the end of each line (let the text wrap to the next line automatically).
  2. Select all the items in the list.
  3. To create a numbered list, click on the Numbering tool in the Formatting toolbar. (In Word 2007, click the Numbering tool in the Paragraph group of the ribbon's Home tab.)
  4. To create a bulleted list, click on the Bullets tool in the Formatting toolbar. (In Word 2007, click the Bullets tool in the Paragraph group of the ribbon's Home tab.)

Tip #527 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
