Formatting Text and Paragraphs

To create ordered lists (outlines), use the Harvard or Legal list styles.

To create an outline:

1

Place the cursor in the first line where you want to begin typing list text.

2

Click List in the toolbar, and then choose Harvard or Legal. You can also click View in

the toolbar and choose Show Styles Drawer (or choose View > Show Styles Drawer)

and select a style. (If you don’t see list styles in the Styles drawer, click the button in

the bottom-right corner of the Styles drawer. For more information, see “Modifying

and Creating New List Styles” on page 117.)

3

To indent text to the next list indentation level, click the right Indent Level arrow

button in the List pane of the Text Inspector (or choose Format > Text > Increase List

Indent Level).

4

To return to the previous list indent level, click the left Indent Level arrow in the List

pane of the Text Inspector (or choose Format > Text > Decrease List Indent Level).

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 (see “The Toolbar” on

page 30):

 Increase: Increases the indent level of selected text

 Decrease: Decreases the indent level of selected text

You can also click and hold a number, and then drag to the right, to the left, down

and to the right, or down and to the left.

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.
