IBM Lotus Symphony


Adding or formatting a numbered list

Apply numbering to selected paragraphs by choosing from a set of preformated lists.

The formats you choose in the following procedure, including those for multilevel lists, are applied to currently selected text only. Use the named styles in the style list if you think you need to make global style changes later. For multilevel lists (outlines) from which you intend to generate a table of contents, use outline numbering.
  1. Select the paragraphs that you want to add numbering to, or click in an existing numbered list.
  2. Click Layout > Bullets and Numbering.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To choose a sequential numbering format, click the Numbering tab.
    • To choose multiple, indented levels, click the Multilevel tab.
  4. Click the thumbnail that shows the numbering format you want to apply.
  5. (Optional) Do one of the following:
    • In a document, to number your selected paragraphs from the beginning, click Restart numbering. To begin the numbering where the last paragraph left off, click Continue numbering.
    • In a presentation, if you want a different size and color for the numbers, specify them.
    • In a presentation, specify the number you want to begin with in the Start at field.
  6. (Optional) Click Customize to apply different number characters, indents, spacing, or alignment.
    Note: Changes applied to the format using the Customize button are saved in the predefined format. Changes using the Restart numbering option or Continue numbering option in documents, or the Size option, Color option, or Start at option in presentations, are applied only to the selected text and are not saved in the predefined format.
  7. To dismiss your changes and return to the original formatting, click Reset.
  8. Click OK.
