Preparing to Create Lists

3 4

You need to make sure that you have AutoFormat configured for lists and bullets if you want to create bulleted and numbered lists automatically as you type. Begin by following these steps:

1. Choose Tools, AutoCorrect Options. The AutoCorrect dialog box appears.
2. Click the AutoFormat As You Type tab and make sure the Format Beginning Of List Item Like The One Before It check box is selected in the Automatically As You Type section.
3. Next, click the AutoFormat tab and make sure that List Styles and Automatic Bulleted Lists are both selected in the Apply section at the top of the tab.
4. Click OK to return to your document.
