Working
with Text
Lists
Dreamweaver
gives you 3 kinds of lists:
-
ORDERED
LISTS:
- Items
that are ordered numerically or alphabetically. Select a
few lines of text that you want listed. Click Ordered List
in the Property Inspector -OR- choose Text|List|Ordered
List. The selected text is indented & numbered
.
Its
easy to change ordered list properties by selecting one line
of text in the list, then click List Item in the Property
Inspector. From the pop-up menu, select alphabet small list.
OK.
-
Often
called bulleted lists, you can easily change bullet styles.
Select a few lines of text you want listed by bullets.
Click Unordered List in the Property Inspector -OR- choose
Text|List|Unordered List.
Its
easy to change unordered list bullets by selecting one line
of text in the list, then click List Item in the Property
Inspector -OR- choose Text|List|Properties.
The
List Properties dialog box opens. (if the list button is dimmed,
you have selected more than one item selected.) If the List
Item button is not visible, click the expander arrow in the
lower right hand corner of the Property Inspector. OK.
-
DEFINITION
LIST:
-
A
list that consists of terms and definitions. The word
or term to be defined is left-justified; the definition
is indented and placed on the next line. For this formatting
to work, a term and its definition must each be a separate
paragraph. This is done by hitting the ENTER button when
you are done typing the word or term.
Once
you have some terms and definitions typed on your page, highlight
the text and choose Text|List|Definition List. The terms are
now at the left margin and their indented definitions are
on succeeding lines
When
you're creating lists, keep these tips in mind.
-
To
change a bulleted list to a numbered list or a numbered
list to a bulleted list, select the entire list and them
apply the other list format.
- To
convert a list to plain text, select the list and apply
the list type again.
- This
procedure works like a toggle to turn off the list formatting.
- If
you had extra text selected when you applied the formatting
for the list, select the extra text and apply the formatting
again to remove the list formatting.
- If
you are typing within an already formatted list and you
want to end the list, press Enter, or Return twice.
