Using (Shift + Enter)

It is possible to create a new line within your bulleted list without inserting another bulleted item.

Pressing (Shift + Enter) at the end of the line will create a new line without introducing another bulleted item.

Displaying your Paragraph Marks will allow you to identify any (Shift + Enter) carriage returns.

You can quickly display all your formatting marks by using the Show/Hide button on the Standard toolbar.

 Paragraph Formatting - Toggles the display of all the non printing characters.

This technique can be used with both bullet and numbered bulleted lists.

Dragging Text

Inserting Text into Existing Numbered Bullets

It is not particularly easy to insert a paragraph into the middle of a numbered (or bulleted) list keeping the formatting and the numbering.

There is a way round it called “Skip Numbering”.

The button can only be found on the list of all commands in the (Tools > Customise) dialog box. Drag it to a toolbar.

Problems Printing ?

Courier bullet points don’t seem to print as squares

Create Custom Lists

It is possible to select "none" for the type of Number style and this allows you to type several characters into the Number Style drop-down box.

This allows you to use short words

Indenting Multiple Blocks

As if that is not bad enough changing the indentation level of one bullet in your document can actually effect other bullets.

Lets insert some more text and add some more bullets to your document.

Position the cursor at the beginning of the first bulleted line in the document and press the Increase Indent button.

You will notice that the indentation level of all the bullet blocks will be increased.
