Creating Lists

When you use automatic list generation, Pages automatically formats a list for you
based on what you type. To use this feature, first choose Pages > Preferences, click
Auto-Correction, and make sure that “Automatically detect lists” is selected.

Pages provides preformatted bullet and numbering styles for creating simple
or ordered lists. Bulleted and numbered lists are simple lists without the nested
hierarchies of information like those you might see in an outline.

To create a list:

1

and some text, and then press Return. To learn how to format your bulleted list see
“Formatting Bulleted Lists” on page 101.
To create a list with labels that are asterisks (*) or hyphens (-), type an asterisk or a
hyphen, a space, and some text, and then press Return.
To create a list with labels that are numbers, letters, or Roman numerals, type the
number, letter, or Roman numeral; a period; a space; and some text. Then press Return.
