Putting a blank line in a bulleted list in Word
This week's
tip is suggested by subscriber Bill C. and it looks at a useful feature when
working with bulleted and numbered lists in Word.
As you
probably know, when you have bullets turned on and you
press Enter, Word automatically gives you a new line with another bullet.
But what do
you do if you do not want the new line to have a bullet? For instance,
you want your bulleted list to look like this:
First item
Second item
Third item
The answer is to use Shift+Enter.
In the
example above, when you have keyed in Second item, press Shift+Enter.
Word gives you a blank line without a bullet. Then press Enter, a bullet
appears and you key in Third item. This is also useful if you want an
item in the bulleted (or numbered) list to have several paragraphs. Keep
using Shift+Enter to give you a new line, until you are ready for the next
bullet and then press Enter.
