WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:08.109 --> 00:00:12.559 When you're creating a word document that includes a list of items, like this 00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:18.200 meeting agenda, you can format it is either a bulleted or a numbered list. 00:00:18.200 --> 00:00:22.510 First you'll need to select the text. 00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:26.670 To add bullets, you can click the Bullet command. And if you ever want to remove them, 00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:29.250 you can just click here again. 00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:34.160 For more options, you can click the Bullets drop-down arrow and select the bullet 00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:35.950 style that you want. 00:00:35.950 --> 00:00:39.720 If you click at the end of the list and then press the Enter key, 00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:44.070 the next line will automatically have the same with formatting as soon as you 00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:46.680 start typing. 00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:51.110 When you're done with your list, just press the Enter key twice, and the next 00:00:51.110 --> 00:00:55.190 line have normal paragraph formatting without bullets. 00:00:55.190 --> 00:00:58.399 Now there's another part of this document that I want to format as a 00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:59.740 numbered list. 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:03.120 To do this, select the text 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.060 and then click the Numbering command or use the drop-down arrow to select the 00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:11.980 style that you want. 00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:16.840 I actually want to split this up into two lists with a heading in between steps 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.950 five and six. Just click here and press Enter twice. 00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:28.270 You can see that after the heading ,it has continued the numbering, beginning 00:01:28.270 --> 00:01:30.290 with step six. 00:01:30.290 --> 00:01:34.640 if you'd like to change that, all you have to do is right-click the number and 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.780 choose Restart at 1. 00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:43.200 If you want to change it back just right-click it again and select Continue Numbering. 00:01:45.290 --> 00:01:46.450 I'm going to go 00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:50.810 back to the top and select my bulleted list. 00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:55.070 If you want to change the distance between the bullets and the text, you can 00:01:55.070 --> 00:02:02.210 click and drag the hanging indent marker on the ruler. 00:02:02.210 --> 00:02:05.770 Make sure that the entire list is selected when you do this, 00:02:05.770 --> 00:02:09.979 otherwise you'll only change the distance for the current line 00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:14.620 you also want to be sure to use the hanging indent marker. That's the one 00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:19.140 that looks like a little upward facing arrow. If you select the left indent 00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:24.239 marker just below, it will move both the bullets and the list items which isn't 00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:26.270 what we want in this case. 00:02:26.270 --> 00:02:29.710 You know, while I'm here I'd like to change these bullets or something 00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:33.950 different, but when I click the drop-down arrow, I don't really see any that I want. 00:02:33.950 --> 00:02:38.910 That's OK, because there are a lot of other symbols we can choose from. 00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:42.340 Just go to you Define New Bullet 00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:45.100 and click Symbol 00:02:46.670 --> 00:02:48.700 Then, select a font. 00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:53.300 I'd recommend using any of the Wingdings fonts because they have a lot of symbols 00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:55.560 to choose from. 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:59.940 You can scroll through the list of symbols and when you've found one you want, 00:02:59.940 --> 00:03:03.780 select it and click OK. 00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:07.069 I think I'll customize this bullet a little more. 00:03:07.069 --> 00:03:09.840 Click Font. 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.720 Let's change the the color of the bullet. 00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:16.360 I'm going to choose this green color. 00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:21.350 Click OK to close these dialog boxes, 00:03:21.350 --> 00:03:25.170 and your customized bullets will appear in the document. 00:03:25.170 --> 00:03:28.990 Now there's actually a third type of list that we haven't talked about yet 00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:35.420 called a multi-level list. A multi-level list is basically just an outline and 00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:38.980 the great part about them is that you can easily turn any bulleted or numbered 00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:42.150 list into a multi-level list. 00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:48.250 For example, under News and Events, I'd like to add some specific news items. 00:03:48.250 --> 00:03:51.010 Press Enter to create a new item 00:03:51.010 --> 00:03:53.870 and then press Tab on your keyboard. 00:03:54.000 --> 00:04:00.240 Then, you can type each item, pressing Enter after each one. 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:04.440 If you want to increase the level of an item, just click at the beginning of the 00:04:04.440 --> 00:04:10.110 line then press the Tab key one or more times, and it will move to the right. 00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:14.740 If you want to decrease the level of an item, hold the Shift key and press Tab, 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:17.609 and it will move to the left. 00:04:17.609 --> 00:04:22.270 Just like with any list, you can change the bullet or number style. 00:04:22.270 --> 00:04:26.990 If you click a list item and select a different bullet, it will change all the 00:04:26.990 --> 00:04:29.139 items on that level. 00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:35.569 You can also reformat the entire list by clicking the Multil-level Lest command 00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:41.780 and then selecting one of the built-in styles. 00:04:41.780 --> 00:04:43.860 As you can see, there are a lot 00:04:43.860 --> 00:04:48.539 of different ways you can format your lists, so take some time to tailor them to fit the 00:04:48.539 --> 00:04:49.740 style of your document.
