Creating bulleted and numbered lists
The procedure to create a bulleted or numbered list is quite different
depending on the type of text box used, although the tools to manage
the list and customize the appearance are the same.
In text boxes created automatically by Impress (called AutoLayout), the
outline styles available are by default bulleted lists, while for normal
text boxes an additional step is required to create a bulleted list.
Creating lists in AutoLayout text boxes
Every text box included in the available layouts is already formatted as
a bulleted list, therefore to create a bulleted list the only necessary
steps are:
1) From the Layout pane, choose a slide design that contains a text
box. Those are easily recognizable from the thumbnail.
2) Click in the text box that reads Click to add an outline.
3) Type the text, then press
Enter
to start a new bulleted line.
4) The default list type is a bulleted list. The mechanisms to change
the list from bulleted to numbered and vice versa are explained in
“Changing the appearance of the list” on page 198.
Tip
Press
Shift + Enter
to start a new line without creating a new
bullet or number. The new line will have the same indentation
of the previous line. Press instead the button bullets on/off on
the text formatting toolbar for a line without bullet. If the text
formatting toolbar is not showing, enable it selecting View >
Toolbar > Formatting in the menu bar.
Creating lists in other text boxes
To create a list in a text box, follow these steps:
1) Place the cursor in the text box.
2) Click the Bullets On/Off button on the text formatting
toolbar. If the text formatting toolbar is not showing, enable it by
selecting View > Toolbar > Formatting from the menu bar.
3) Type the text and press
Enter
to start a new bulleted line.
4) The default list type is a bulleted list. The mechanisms to change
the appearance of the list are explained on page 198.
