Organizing List Information
One way to create a numbered or bulleted list
as you type is to create a paragraph, and then
click the Numbering or Bullets button on the
Home tab.
You can also change a list that you already
typed to a bulleted or numbered list by
selecting the items, and then clicking either
the Bullets or Numbering button.

Pg 71Briefly introduce the topics that will be covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they will learn. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference so they don’t need to commit anything to memory or take notes.
Pg 77Objective 2.7This image is provided in the gallery as well in the Extra IR Files folder for you to use, as required.This is another common feature that most people want to be comfortable using, and usually the concerns come from making adjustments. What this likely means is how to adjust the indents, or customize the bullet symbol.Ensure students understand the three different types of lists they can create, and how each can be used to emphasize specific things. For instance, a bullet list generally is a list of items with no priority, whereas a numbered list implies there is an order of some sort, and a multilevel list implies an order in the list even if it includes bullet points.

Pg 78-79Objective 2.7Students should start to understand and recognize that most features can be customized to suit their needs, giving them lots of options and opportunities to create a document with a professional look and message.Recognize that Word has started to use different terms to describe these features, relating these to how Windows functions. For instance, notice that “library” is used to represent different categories or types – this is similar to using Libraries to help organize your projects or folders in the operating system.
Pg 79Objective 2.7Take the students through an example of how to customize both bullets and numbering, giving them examples of when or why you might want to customize them, e.g., personalize a report, set up a standard type of numbering for specific types of reports, etc.The exercise also gives them a chance to customize these but is limited and may not allow for as much detail as they may get with your demo.
Pg 82Objective 2.7This feature seems to cause people a lot of problems when they try to use it, and generally when they need to change the levels. A hint you may want to provide is to encourage them to type the text using tabs to indicate levels prior to applying a multilevel list format. This at least provides them with a rough draft of where the topics should be place in relation to the main or opening paragraphs.Provide examples of when you may want to use a multilevel list format other than outlines, e.g., contracts, minutes, etc.

Pg 82Objective 2.7As with bullets and numbering, you can customize a multilevel list. You don’t need to go into a lot of detail regarding how to change all of these; it’s more important that students know it is possible and where to activate it.
Pg 84Objective 2.7You may be asked about the difference between the outline feature and the multilevel list feature. While there is similarity between the two, they are intended for different purposes.The outline feature is intended to help you organize sections or headings in a document. Initially an outline may appear quite similar to a multilevel list. When you switch from Outline view to Draft or Print view, you will see that Word has applied Heading styles to the entries in the list. The intention is that you will add text after each heading to complete the document. The multilevel list feature is intended to help create a list within a section of a document, rather than an outline of the whole document.You can also mention that this view can be used to create master and sub documents, which will be covered in Expert level. This can be very handy for those people who will be working with very large documents such as annual reports, manuscripts, plays, proposals, etc.

Pg 84-85Objective 2.7Ensure students understand that Promote means to move a level back, making it a higher level, whereas Demote moves the text inwards from the left margin to lower level.When demonstrating these terms, you may want to take it slowly and go through examples of demoting and promoting, as well as manipulating individual or families of text. Use an example of creating a preliminary table of contents for a biography of a well-known person or use the table of contents in one of your textbooks as a guide.

Pg 85Objective 2.7As part of the demo from the previous page, have students try these different views so they can see how text is affected as they begin to organize their thoughts for a particular type of report.
Pg 88Briefly review what topics were covered in this lesson so students are aware of the new skills they learned. Remind students also that all the information is available in the book as a reference.
Pg 88As time permits, go through the questions with students, or choose to assign these for groups or homework review.
