                </h1>
<!-- END PAGE TITLE -->
                <div><div class="section"><p>In bulleted lists, each paragraph begins
with a bullet character. In numbered lists, each paragraph begins
with an expression that includes a number or letter and a separator
such as a period or parenthesis. The numbers in a numbered list
are updated automatically when you add or remove paragraphs in the
list. You can change the type of bullet or numbering style, the
separator, the font attributes and character styles, and the type
and amount of indent spacing.</p>
<p>You cannot use the Type tool&#160;to
select the bullets or numbers in a list. Instead, edit their formatting
and indent spacing using the Bullets And Numbering dialog box, the
Paragraph panel, or the Bullets And Numbering section of the Paragraph Styles
dialog box (if the bullets or numbers are part a style).</p>
<div class="fignone"><img alt="" id="op_42" src="images/op_42.png" /><div class="figdesc">Bulleted list and numbered list </div><br /></div><p>A quick way
to create a bulleted or numbered list is to type the list, select
it, and then click the Bulleted List or Numbered List button in the
Control panel. These buttons let you turn the list on or off and
switch between bullets and numbers. You can also make bullets and
numbering part of a paragraph style and construct lists by assigning
styles to paragraphs.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>Automatically generated bullet and
number characters aren’t actually inserted in the text. Therefore,
they cannot be found during a text search or selected with the Type
tool unless you convert them to text. In addition, bullets and numbering
don’t appear in the story editor window (except in the paragraph
style column).</div>
<p>For a video on creating bulleted and numbered
lists, see <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/vid0077" target="_blank">www.adobe.com/go/vid0077</a>.</p>
</div>
<ol><li><span>Select the set of paragraphs that
will become the list, or click to place the insertion point where
you want the list to begin.</span></li>
<li><span>Do any of the following:</span><ul><li><p>Click the Bulleted List button&#160;<img src="images/bulletlist.png" /> or
the Numbered List button&#160;<img src="images/numberlist.png" /> in
the Control panel (in Paragraph mode). Hold down Alt (Windows) or
Option (Mac&#160;OS) while clicking a button to display the
Bullets And Numbering dialog box.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Choose Bullets And Numbering from the Paragraph
panel or Command panel. For List Type, choose either Bullets or
Numbers. Specify the settings you want, and then click&#160;OK.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Apply a paragraph style that includes bullets or
numbering.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span>To continue the list in the next paragraph, move the
insertion point to the end of the list and press Enter or Return. </span></li>
<li><span>To end the list (or list segment, if the list is to be
continued later in the story), click the Bulleted List or Numbered
List button in the Control panel again, or choose Bullets And Numbering
from the Paragraph panel menu.</span></li>
