Numbers with the Bullets and Numbering Dialog Box
Another way of choosing a numbering list, is to use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. This option allows you to define your numbering to anything you want and also add a few characters as well.To insert Numbering with the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, follow these steps:
| 1. | The cursor must be on a new line, do this by pressing Enter. |
| 2. | Choose Format
► Bullets and Numbering. Or right-clicking and choose Bullets and Numbering from the shortcut menu. |
| 3. | In the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, click the Numbered tab. |
 |
|
| 4. | Click the preview of the bullet that you want to use. If there isn't one that you like click the Customize button. |
 |
|
| 5. | In the Number Format text box, you can add a character or two to enhance your number. For example, add an asterisk (*), square brackets [], or any other character that you can think of! |
| 6. | Click the Font button to change the font of the numbering to something more interesting. |
| 7. | Click the Number Style drop-down arrow and choose a different number style. |
| 8. | Change the Start At number if you want your numbered list to start at a different number than 1. |

From the Number Position option, change the
Alignment of the numbering. Change the
Aligned At to an amount you want. This will move the
number closer or
further away from the margin. If the Indent At is changed to 0.0

From the Text Position option, change the
Tab Space After to an amount which will be the space
between the number and where the text starts. Change the Indent At to an amount which would be bigger if you want a hanging indent, or the same amount as Tab Space After to have the next line of the paragraph start in alignment with the beginning of the paragraph. |
