Apple numbers Manuel D’Utilisation

    Working with Text 

 

Although you can use automatic list generation to create a simple bulleted list, using 
the Text Inspector gives you many options for formatting bulleted lists. See “Generating 
Lists Automatically” on page 137 for information about automatic list generation. 

Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click Bullets.

Choose a bullet style from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu.

To use a typed character as a bullet, choose Text Bullets and choose a character from 
the list or type a new character in the field.

To use one of the image bullets that comes with Numbers, choose Image Bullets and 
choose an image from the scrolling list.

To use your own image as a bullet, choose Custom Image and choose an image in the 
Open dialog that appears.

To change the size of an image bullet, specify a percentage of the original image size in 
the Size field. Or, select the “Scale with text” checkbox and specify a percentage of the 
text size; this option maintains the image-to-text size ratio of the bullets even if you 
later change the font size of text.

To adjust the space between bullets and the left margin, use the Bullet Indent field. To 
adjust the space between bullets and text, use the Text Indent field.

To position bullets higher or lower relative to text in a text box or shape, use the Align 
field.

Use these techniques to add and indent bulleted items in your list:

 To add a new topic at the current indent level, press Return. If you’re working in a 

table cell and “Return key moves to next cell” is selected in the Table Inspector, press 
Option-Return instead.

 To create an unbulleted paragraph within a topic, press Return while holding down 

the Shift key. If you’re working in a table cell and “Return key moves to next cell” is 
selected in the Table Inspector, press Control-Return instead.

 To enter a new topic at the next lower indent level, press Tab. To enter a new topic at 

the next higher level, press Shift-Tab. You can also click and hold a bullet, and then 
drag to the right, to the left, down and to the right, or down and to the left.

If you’re working in a table cell and “Return key moves to next cell” is selected in the 
Table Inspector, use the Indent Level controls in the Bullets pane of the Text Inspector 
to change the level of entries.
