Understanding Presentations – Lists

Indent bulleted text. Remove indent from bulleted text.

Indentation helps in defining the amount of space to be made available to the right and to the left side of the page. Indentation can be done by selecting ‘Format’ option from the main menu bar. Now select ‘Paragraph’ from the drop down list which gets displayed. In the ‘Paragraph’ dialog box which gets displayed, under the ‘Indents & Spacing’ tab, under the section ‘Indent’, we can specify the indentation required for the bulleted text as has been shown below.

Line spacing is defined as the space between the lines in a paragraph. Line spacing for bulleted and numbered lists can be defined by using the same ‘Paragraph’ dialog box which was used in the earlier sections. In this dialog box, under the ‘Indents & Spacing’ tab, open the ‘Line Spacing’ drop-down list and then select the type of line spacing required. After selecting the required value, click on ‘OK’.Line Spacing
