1.

Type the First Item

When you want to begin a numbered list, start on a new line. Type a number followed by a period or closing parenthesis, such as 1. or 1), followed by a space and then the first line of your list.

Writer recognizes that you've begun a numbered list when you press

Enter .24 Create a Table .

3.

Indent the List

When you want to create a sublist of numbered items, press

Tab after the number. Writer indents the item and starts the numbering once again from 1. Keep typing the list, and Writer keeps indenting and creating the sublist.

When you want to return to the original indention to continue your primary list items, press

Shift+Tab to move back to the left column and continue the numbering of the original list.

NOTE

Typically, a sublist should have more than one item. Writer supports up to ten levels of numbered lists, but three or four levels deep is often as far as you'll need to go.

4.

End the List

To end your list, after the final item press

Enter twice. The first

Enter keypress tells Writer that you don't want to indent anymore. The second

Enter keypress moves the cursor to the next line, adding a blank line between the list's final item and your next regular line of text.

5.

Add New Items

The true power of Writer's numbered lists is Writer's ability to renumber the entire list when you add or remove list items. To insert new items, put your text cursor at the end of any item and press

Enter . Writer inserts a new line with the next number and renumbers all subsequent items accordingly. You may keep inserting new items, and Writer handles all the renumbering for you.

If you delete a line, Writer renumbers the list to reflect the change.

6.

Change the Number Format

You don't have to settle for the default number format that Writer initially uses. Highlight your numbered list if you want to change the kind of number used in the list.

Select

Bullets and Numbering from the

Format menu to show the

Bullets and Numbering dialog box. Click the

Numbering type tab.

TIP

If you only want to change some of a list's number style, such as an indented sublist, select only that portion of the list before opening the

Bullets and Numbering dialog box.

7.

Select a New Numbering Type

Click any of the number formats to select a new numbering type. When you click

OK , Writer converts your numbered list so that the new number format appears in your document.
