To create a bulleted or numbered list
To customize a bulleted or numbered list
Three paragraphs were converted into a bulleted list (left) and a numbered list (right).
In addition, you can customize lists, and you can customize one or more levels in multilevel lists. CorelDRAW lets you edit bullets and numbers by changing their size, position, and distance from the text and text frame. By default, the first level in lists inherits the font properties of the paragraph text. However, you can change the font of bullets and numbers, and you can choose from a wide array of glyphs to use as bullets. To customize the number formatting, you can choose from numerous preset styles, and you can specify a suffix and a prefix for the numbers.
