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 71.
Creating a new outline level
1) If necessary, press
Enter
to begin a new line.
2) Press
Tab
. Each time you press
Tab
the line indents to the next
outline level. Pressing
Enter
creates a new line at the same level
as the previous one. To return to the previous level, press
Shift+Tab
.
In the AutoLayout text boxes, promoting or demoting an item in the list
corresponds to applying a different outline style, so the second outline
level corresponds to Outline 2 style, the third to Outline 3 style and so
on.
Caution
Unlike styles in Writer, do not try to change the outline level by
selecting the text and then clicking the desired outline style. Due
to the way the presentation styles work, it is not possible to
apply them in this way.
Changing the appearance of the list
You can fully customize the appearance of a list, changing the bullet
type or numbering for the entire list or for single entry. All the changes
can be made using the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, which is
accessed by selecting Format > Bullets and Numbering or by
clicking on the Bullets and Numbering icon on the text
formatting toolbar.
