Converting List Types
Summary: There are two types of common lists you can create in Word: bulleted lists and numbered lists. You can switch between the type types by using the techniques described in this tip. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
In other issues of WordTips you learn how to insert lists into your documents. After you have created your lists, there may be times when you want to convert from one type of list to the other. To do so, follow these steps:
- Select the items in the list you want to convert.
- If you want to convert a bulleted list to a numbered list, click on the Numbered List tool on the Formatting toolbar or, in Word 2007, display the Home tab of the ribbon and click the Numbering tool in the Paragraph group.
- If you want to convert a numbered list to a bulleted list, click on the Bulleted List tool on the Formatting toolbar or, in Word 2007, display the Home tab of the ribbon and click the Bullets tool in the Paragraph group.
