Chapter 13:  Inserting and Formatting Text

For information about setting a specific list type and other list options for an entire list or a 
specific list item (for example, reset numbering or use Roman numerals in an ordered list, or 
to set square bullets), see Setting List Properties dialog box options in Using Dreamweaver 
Help.

To create a new list: 

1.

In the Dreamweaver document, place the insertion point where you want to add a list, then 
do one of the following:

■

Click either the Bulleted or Numbered List button in the Property inspector

■

Select Text > List and select the type of list desired—Unordered (bulleted) List, 
Ordered (numbered) List, or Definition List.

The leading character for the specified list item appears in the Document window.

2.

Type the list item text, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to create 
another list item.

3.

To complete the list, press Enter twice (Windows) or press Return twice (Macintosh).

To create a list using existing text:

1.

Select a series of paragraphs to make into a list.

2.

Click the Bulleted or Numbered List button in the Property inspector, or select Text > 
List and select the type of list desired—Unordered List, Ordered List, or Definition List.

To create a nested list:

1.

Select the list items you want to nest.

2.

Click the Indent button in the Property inspector, or select Text > Indent.

Dreamweaver indents the text and creates a separate list with the original list’s 
HTML attributes.

3.

Apply a new list type or style to the indented text by following the same procedure used 
above.

Formatting text 

You can apply text formatting to one letter or to entire site paragraphs and blocks of text.
