PowerPoint Adding Number Lists to a slide - powerpoint tutorial for beginners - 2007 2010 2013 2017

all right in this slide I want to show you how to make a numbered list in a PowerPoint slide so uh what you're going to do is you're going to start off with a text box you're going to say insert text box and then click over here all right so this time uh let's use the presidence again except I going to click on the numbered list instead of the bullet list and now you can see the number one there so again we'll use those same names uh rean bush Clinton Bush again and then Obama all right now you can see the number lists are pretty easy to uh to work with now let's say let's just say uh that there was a president between Bush and Obama or between Clinton and Bush I'm just making up an example now I can just click at the end of one of these lines and hit the enter key and notice how it automatically added a new number there so it's easy enough to add things into your number list not a problem in this case I'm going to delete that I just want to show you how you would make that work or another thing that you can do is to be able to uh click on that that name and you hit the enter key now if you hit the Tab Key notice what happens now it goes to the next level in so uh let's say we had George Lara okay and you see how it's kind of indented it's the next level in now if I wanted to go to the next level out I'm going to hit shift Tab and now you can see I'm on on the uh the the OU level so when you're doing your number list if you hit the Tab Key it goes to the next level in if you hit shift tab see how it goes to the next level out so these are all great ways to manage your bullet list your number list as well I just hit the backspace key there now uh you can also format your number list I'm going to highlight the numbers here and then uh I can click on this pull down let's say I wanted to do these inner ones I'm going to highlight these and then click on that pull down let's say I want that to be ABC well I can do that uh I can click on that pull down next to the number list and uh we can try one of these different formats we can also go in bullets and numbering and uh we can change the size of the text we can uh change the starting position is it going to start at one or a different number or a different letter and then we can change the color as well so you have a lot of flexibility with your number list all right so just watch again uh I'm going to I'm going to start with a text box going to click over here uh let's this time let's use some countries so you'll have United States Canada Mexico Italy Spain all right now um and then uh maybe we'll have um maybe we'll have France all right now I'm gonna uh what you can do is even highlight the text after the fact and then make them a b a number list from there now let's say I want want to add more countries let's say between Mexico and Italy I'm going to hit the Anarchy and then type in type in uh England and you can see how it R numbers everything and it adds that right in there uh let's add another one we'll add Germany so it's easy enough to do that now in this case I had misspelled United States I'm going to fix that now but let's say I'm going to go to United States and hit the Anarchy now let's say I actually want to start listing some of the states so I'm going to tab in let's say PA California Texas Maryland and now you can see how it's on the the inner level I want to hit the inner key now if I want to go back to the outer level then I can uh use um the shift tab uh by the way other icons that work here is this guy this is going to move it one level in as you can see or I can even go another level in and this guy is going to move it one level out so that's the same thing as pick uh doing shift or uh tab I mean Tab and then shift tab over there so those work for you as well but now you have some great ways to make your number list in a PowerPoint slide
