Formatting Text and Paragraphs

4

To return to the previous list indent level, choose Format > Text > Decrease List Indent

Level (or click the left Indent Level arrow in the List tab of the Text Inspector).

Note: To quickly indent selected text to a higher or lower indent level, you can use

keyboard shortcuts:

 Command-right bracket (]): Increases the indent level of selected text

 Command-left bracket ([): Decreases the indent level of selected text

You can also add the following buttons to the Pages toolbar:

 Increase: Increases the indent level of selected text

 Decrease: Decreases the indent level of selected text

To learn about customizing the toolbar, see “The Toolbar” on page 22.

To include subtext under an outline point, press Shift-Return to start the next line

without numbering it. Press Return again at the end of the line to start a new

numbered line.

Note: If you type regular body text paragraphs between outline points, or add or

delete text between outline points, and the numbering gets lost, select the text with

incorrect numbering, and then select “Continue from previous” in the Tabs pane of the

Text Inspector to make the numbering flow continuously. If you need discontinuous

numbering, select “Start at” and type the number where you want the numbering to

begin, and then press Return. For more information, see “Modifying and Creating New

List Styles” on page 83.

To return to regular paragraph text at the end of your list, click List in the toolbar and

choose None, or select None in the Styles drawer. If the text insertion point is

indented, press Command-left bracket ([) to return to indent level 1, where you can

begin typing the regular paragraph text.
