Step 3: Hit the Return/Enter key at the end of the numbered line of text to add an additional item

For a different type, e.g., lower-alpha:

Step 1: Right-click on the ordered list and select Numbered List Properties

Step 2: In the dialog box, choose the type, e.g., Lower Alpha, then click OK

Bulleted List

Bulleted lists are useful when you want to set off several items in no particular order.

Follow these simple steps in the page editor to create a bulleted list:

Step 1: Move your cursor to where you want to add a list and click to select the starting point

Step 2: Click on the bulleted list option in the toolbar.

Step 3: Hit the Return/Enter key at the end of the bulleted line of text to add one more list item

For a different type:
