Using lists



About lists

Buzzword provides flexibility in building lists with both numbers and bullets. Your list can have any number of items, and you can set outline levels to create lists within lists. Every entry at the same level of a list must share the same bullet, number, or check style. However, you can create a list with multiple levels so you can use bullets at one level, numbers at another, and checks at a third.

Click the List icon to display icons for creating bulleted, numbered, or check box paragraphs. Once you create a list, you can use the controls to do any of the following:

  • Set bullet or number style

  • Specify outline level

  • Skip one or more items inside a list; join two lists

  • Split a list into two lists

You can convert a range of list paragraphs to normal paragraphs if the range includes the first or last paragraph in the list. Just select that range and click the highlighted List type icon.

Formatting a list

The Level arrows promote or demote a paragraph within a list. Buzzword follows the normal outlining conventions. As you promote or demote an item, it takes on the appropriate numbering and indent settings.

When you work with bulleted lists, the Style icon provides a drop-down list of bullet styles. When you work with numbers, the Style icon provides a drop-down list of number styles.

If you don't see the number style you want in the menu, select Custom to create a custom style. You can specify a new starting number or insert text before or after the number.
