style. You can choose Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, or letters.

Format the bullets.

To increase or reduce the size of a bullet, specify a number in the Size field. Selecting
“Scale with text” maintains the image-to-text size ratio of the bullets even if you later
change the font size.

To position the bullet symbol higher or lower relative to the text, specify a number in
the Align box.

To set how far the bullets are indented from the margin, specify a number in the Bullet
Indent field. A higher number indents the list further to the right.

To set how far text is indented from the bullet, specify a number in the Text Indent
field. A higher number indents the text further to the right.

Click the Styles Drawer button in the Format Bar to open the Styles drawer.

Notice that one of the list styles is highlighted. This is the style that has been applied to
the selected text. (If the list styles are not visible, click the button in the bottom of the
Styles drawer.) The arrow to the right of the style name is red, indicating that you have
applied overrides to the style by modifying it.

6

Click the red arrow to the right of the selected style in the Styles drawer and choose an
option.

Redefine Style From Selection: Redefines the existing list style for the entire document. If
you choose this, your formatting changes will apply to all other instances of this style
throughout the document.

Create New List Style From Selection: This doesn’t alter the existing style, but creates a
new style based on your formatting choices. If you select this, type a name for the new
style, and then click OK.

For numbered lists, choose
a numbering style.

Restart numbering, or continue
with previous numbering.
