Bullet and numbered lists

Lists are one of the most-used formatting tools in Word documents. Bulleted lists mark each item with a symbol (a dot, dash, square, or custom character) and suit unordered sets like features, requirements, or key points where sequence is irrelevant. Numbered lists label items 1, 2, 3 (or a, b, c / i, ii, iii) and suit ordered content — steps, ranked priorities, or clauses you'll refer back to; Word renumbers automatically when you add or reorder items. You create both from the Home > Paragraph group (Bullets and Numbering buttons), and you build hierarchy with multilevel lists and the Tab / Shift+Tab keys to demote or promote items. Well-formed lists rely on a hanging indent so wrapped text aligns under the first word rather than under the bullet or number. Common formatting problems include inconsistent bullet characters, mismatched indentation between levels, uneven spacing above and below items, and manually typed numbers that break the automatic sequence. Veermat can standardize list formatting across a .docx — consistent bullet and numbering styles, indentation, and spacing — without altering the wording of your items, so lists read cleanly throughout the document.
