Turn
the List Off
Do you have trouble
ending your MS Word bulleted or numbered lists?
You know what I mean.
You have this great list going, the last item is done and you hit the
Enter key to continue on with your document. Of course, we all know what
happens next. Word has other plans and continues on with the numbers or
bullet points.
So, now what?
Well, most people
take their frustration out on the Backspace key, as they try to get back
to their normal text.
If that doesn't do
the trick easily enough, you might want to try the Style list next time.
When you're on the
first line of text that you don't want to be in the list, simply use the
drop down menu to select the Normal style. (You could
also choose one of the other styles, like the headings too).
This will end the list and
put your cursor back at the left margin without the frustrations of the
Backspace key.
This one also works
when you're trying to insert text into the middle of an established list.
With your cursor on
the line that's to be put out of the list (or highlight several lines,
if that's what's needed), select the Normal style.
Poof! One list becomes two
with the selected line(s) completely out of it.
Who knew stopping
those stubborn lists could be so easy?!
