5 After you enter the fifth list item, press Enter two times to end the numbered list

list and
return to normal text.

TIP Pressing Enter twice is built-in functionality for ending a numbered or bulleted
list, and you’re not adding an empty paragraph. Within a list, if you place your cursor
at the beginning of the paragraph, you can press Backspace to remove the number
or bullet and keep the indent. Pressing Backspace twice will format the paragraph as
normal text.

6 Select all of your list items, and on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the
arrow next to the Numbering button, and in the Numbering Library, select another
numbering format, such as one that uses Roman numerals or alpha characters.

7 To change your numbered list to a bulleted list, on the Home tab, in the Paragraph
group, click the arrow next to the Bullets button, and in the Bullets Library, select
another bullet style, such as a square bullet.

CLEAN UP Close your document without saving changes.

Creating tabbed lists

A tabbed list can be used for a small amount of information that will stay together on the
same page and within a small number of columns. To easily control the position of each
column and align the data in the columns, you set your own tabs, called manual tab stops.
When you press the Tab key without first setting a manual tab stop, you move between
­default tab stops that are left aligned and occur every 0.5 inches, or 1.27 centimeters.
