Word Bullets and Numbering

Word Bullets and Numbering

I've been working with Word now for more years than I care to remember. (I started with Word for DOS, oh so many years ago.) It was the word processor I used to write my earliest books and magazine articles.

In all my writing, I've noticed that one of the staples I always come back to is using lists, particularly bulleted lists and numbered lists. Perhaps it is just coincidental to the fact that I am a non-fiction writer, and these elements are indispensible for "how to" writing.

In the 12+ years that I've been publishing WordTips, I've published dozens of tips about lists. I finally decided to gather up all those tips into a single e-book, but when I did so I noticed something I hadn't fully realized before—there are some significant differences in how you create and work with lists in Word 2007. This led me to create not one, but two e-books about lists:

  • Word 2003 Bullets and Numbering
  • Word 2007 Bullets and Numbering

Both of these e-books contain dozens of tips about creating and working with lists in your documents. Understanding the information contained in these tips can help improve your skills and enhance your documents. Just take a look at the TOCs for these e-books and you can get an idea of the information they contain:
