Tip Sheet

Lists are especially good for outlines. Here is an example of the two major kinds of lists, the Numbered List and the Bulleted List:

To make a list, select either the Numbered List or Bulleted List Icon from the toolbar (shown below).

Type the text of the first list item. When you press Enter, the cursor drops down to the next line (not a new paragraph) and another number or bullet appears for the next list item.

To end the list, press Enter after you've typed the last list item.
Then, deselect the list by clicking in the List icon again.

In the case of outlines (see table below), you may want to nest lists, or have a list inside of another list. It would look something like this:

Computer Science Department Work Study Mandla Ntsomi Matt Biggs Part-time Employees Judy Nelson Busi Ndawo Staff Ben Johnson Jeff Truelove Vusi Matshaka Some other lesser department and so...

To build a nested list, start by creating the top most list, or parent. (In the case above, you'd make a Numbered List and type in the first item.) Then to make a sub-list of that item, do the following:

1. Press Enter after typing in the list item of the parent list.
2. Click the Increase Indent Icon (to the right of the list icon).
3. Select the either the Numbered List or Bulleted List Icon from the toolbar. (In the case above, you'd select Numbered List.)
4. Type in the first item of the nested list.

To end a sub-list and return to its parent list (In the example above, end the list containing Mandla Ntsomi and Matt Biggs and get back to list containing Work Study, Part-Time Employees, and Staff), do the following:

1. Press Enter after typing in the last item of the sub-list.
2. Either press Backspace twice, or click the Decrease Indent Icon twice.
