Removing a List

There may be times when you want to remove the list formatting you previously applied to some of your text. For instance, you may have a numbered list that you want to reformat as regular text. Word provides an easy way for you to remove list formatting:

1. Select the list items you want to no longer be a part of the list. It doesn't matter if it is a numbered or bulleted list.
2. If the list is a numbered list, click on the Numbering tool on the toolbar.
3. If the list is a bulleted list, click on the Bullets tool on the toolbar.

If you remove the bullets or numbering from only a portion of the list, the remainder of the list maintains the list formatting. If required, Word adjusts the numbering on any remaining part of a numbered list.
