# Create Lists

AbiWord allows you to create various kinds of lists within your documents. You can create a list using bullets or numbers to show items in a series. Bullets place a symbol at the beginning of each list item, and use the same symbol for each item, while numbered lists mark each item with a number or letter, and move upward numerically or alphabetically as the list progresses.

## Create a Bullet list

Let's begin by creating a bullet list by following these few simple instructions:

- Select Format from the Menu bar
- Select Bullets and Numbering

  The Lists dialog box appears.

- Select Bullet from the Type drop-down arrow
- Select the bullet style you prefer from the Style drop-down arrow

  Note: You can also customize a bulleted list by changing some of the options in the Customized List box.

- Select Apply
- Select Close

## Create a Numbered list

Now let's create a numbered listed by following these few basic steps:

- Select Format from the top Menu bar
- Select Bullets and Numbering

  The Lists dialog box appears.

- Select Numbered from the Type drop-down
- Select the number style from the Style drop-down

  Note: You can choose from a variety of number styles e.g., alpha, numeric, Hebrew, Arabic, or Roman Numerals. You can also customize a numbered list by changing some of the options in the Customized List box.

- Select Apply
- Select Close
