Proper Lists

Make sure to group items in numbered (if they are sequential) or bulleted (if they are related) lists so they will be announced and read as lists by assistive technologies such as screen readers.

  1. Highlight the text you want in the list.
  2. Using the “Home” tab on the top ribbon, under the “Paragraph” section, select either the bulleted or numbered option.
