CCNC/CCNC Module 6/Text and Text Formating/Subsection 4 Bulleted and Numbered Lists

Bulleted and Numbered Lists
You can create two different types of lists in Impress: Bulleted lists and numbered lists. Bulleted and numbered lists help a reader to simplify steps or items. Teachers often use bulleted lists to highlight important pieces of their modules. Manuals often include numbered lists to hightlight step-by-step instructions. You can use the default Bullets and Number settings by clicking on the appropriate button on the Formatting toolbar. Impress provides several bulleted-list template slides that you can incorporate into your presentation.
 * A bullet is usually a black circle but it can be any other symbol used to highlight items in a list.
 * Use bullets to list items that do not have to be in any particular order.
 * Use numbers (or letters) when information has to be in a certain order.

You can use these slides or create new slides on your own.
