Lists with a Quick Click
Do you use a lot
of numbered or bulleted lists in MS Word?
Are you using
Word 2007?
If so, you may
be interested in this little tidbit of information!
In older versions
of Word, you had to go into the Bullets and Numbering dialogue window
to make changes to numbering or bullet styles. It wasn't a terribly
long process, especially if you're fond of the right click method,
but you still had to go into that window each time you needed to make
a change. And let's face it, if you had a lot of changes to make,
it was rather repetitive and tedious!
If you agree with
me on that, you'll be happy to know that things are a bit easier to
access in Word 2007.
What you're looking
for is on the Home ribbon in the Paragraph
section.
While you've always
had buttons to quickly turn numbering and bullets on and off, these
buttons are just a little different.
Take a look on
the right side of those buttons.
Yep, that's right.
You're seeing a down arrow that indicates you've
got some easy access choices!
Click
the down arrow on one of the buttons.
You'll see that
common choices are right there for your choosing. If you aren't happy
with those, you'll find that you can create a new list format via
the "Define new" choice at the very bottom.
But, if you see
a style you do like, there's no extra dialogue windows to open and
close. Just a quick click and you've got instant access to the most
common possibilities!
