The List Menu

List Menu Choices

The Ordered List command creates an ordered list. Ordered lists are lists in which each entry has either a number, letter (upper or lower case) or Roman numeral (upper or lower case). The style of label is chosen from the List Lables dialog seen here. The following is an example of a nested list with different types of labels

  1. First
    1. first
      1. first
      2. second
    2. second
  2. Second

Different labels are only visible in a browser.

The Unordered List selection creates a list with bullets in front of each item. This is an unordered list.
  • first
  • second
  • third
In both the ordered and unordered list each list item must be designated as a list item. The New List Item menu choice creates a new list item.
Definition Lists differ from ordered and unordered lists because each list item consists of two parts. The item to be defined is listed at the left margin, followed on the next line by the definition which is indented. This command creates the list, while the New Definition command creates each individual pair of definition parts. This is a definition list.
First Item
Definition of the first item.
Second Item
The Definition of the second item.
