Inserting an ordered list

In an ordered list, a number (1, 2, 3, i, ii, iii, ...) or letter (A, B, C, ...) precedes each list item.
To create a ordered list:
  1. Select Insert > List > Ordered List. An empty list item is created, and you can begin typing text into it.
  2. To enter the next list item, press Enter. To make a normal line break within an item, hold the Shift key down while pressing the Enter key. If you want to select from among specialized line break types, hold the Ctrl key down while pressing the Enter key to open the Line Break dialog box.
  3. To change the number or letter that precedes a ordered list item, do the following:
    1. Select the ordered list item.
    2. Select the LI tab in the Properties view and enter the number you want in Number.
    3. Click the list item to see the update.
To convert existing text into a list:
  1. Select the text.
  2. Select Insert > List > Ordered List. Each line is added as a list item.
Note: To convert lists to regular paragraphs, you must manually copy and paste each list item outside the list and then delete the list, or remove the tagging in the Source page.
