17 Document Production – Lists

Bulleted Lists

Bulleted lists are used when the order of items doesn’t matter. Think of them as a grocery list: each bullet point is a separate item you want to remember.

  • Use a bullet point (•) to start each item.
  • Keep the items short and clear.
  • Use the same bullet style for the whole list.

Numbered Lists

Numbered lists are used when the order matters. Imagine you are following a recipe: you need to add the ingredients in the right order.

  1. Preheat the oven.
  2. Mix the flour and sugar.
  3. Add eggs one by one.

Lists with Maths

You can include equations inside list items. For example:

  1. Calculate the area of a circle: $A = \pi r^2$.
  2. Find the sum of 2 and 3: $2+3=5$.

📌 Exam Tip: When asked to create a list, first decide if the order matters. Use a numbered list for steps or sequences, and a bulleted list for unordered items. Keep each point concise and use the same bullet or number style throughout.

?? Remember: Consistency is key! Use the same bullet style or numbering format throughout your document.
