      How can I create lists in Microsoft Word?

      In this article we will take a look at how to create certain types of lists in Microsoft Word.

      We are going to look at the 2 main types of lists that Microsoft Word offers; numbered and bulleted lists. These "types" are just formatting options for creating a list for a section of text within your document. These lists can be created in a couple of ways, which we will outline below.

      Numbered Lists.

      One way to create a numbered list is to type the number 1, a period, and then hitting the spacebar.

      Another way, is to select some text you want to include in a list, and clicking the Number List button on the Home tab.

      NOTE: This method is more precise, but can take longer over an extended period of time.

      TIP: You can click the drop-down arrow to apply different styles for your list.

       

      Bulleted Lists.

      Creating a bulleted list can be as easy as to press the asterisk (*) button and then pressing the spacebar.


      We can also create bulleted lists by the way of text selection and clicking the Bullet List button as well.
