List formatting depends upon a document's line spacing, indention, and the number of lines in the list. All possible list formats are explained and illustrated on these pages.

Lesson 28, Reports with Lists
28-H. Bulleted and Numbered Lists

bullet

Use numbers or bullets to call attention to items in a list. If the sequence of the items is important, use numbers rather than bullets.

bullet

Numbers and bullets appear either at the left margin or are indented to the same point as the paragraphs in the document. Use the Decrease Indent or Increase Indent buttons in Word to adjust the position of the list as needed.

bullet

By default, the numbers and bullets themselves are followed by an indent, and carryover lines are indented automatically to align with the text in the previous line, not the bullet or number.
