HERE’S HOW
the phrase up or down on
the list.
3. Now all you have to do is
renumber the list.
4. Bullet lists are easier
because you don’t have to

the list is reorganized.
Vertical Selection
feature
The Vertical Selection
feature is a handy tool for
making quick changes to a
vertical column of
characters—for example,
adding or removing an
attribute such as bold or
italics, changing the color,
font, and/or size of the
numbers, bullets, or text.
You can delete the
selected vertical text without also deleting the rest of the text beside
it. For example, you can delete the numbers in a list, but not the list.
1. Press the Alt key, then click on the first character in the list or
paragraph and drag the highlight down and over through the
characters you want to modify, then make the changes.
Note, however, that you cannot sort the vertical characters
separately from the adjacent text. You cannot change the design of a
bullet through the Insert > Symbol menu, but you can change it
through the Font menu or the Bullet menu (with some limitations).
For example, if you select Home > Paragraph > Bullet Library >
Define New Bullet > Symbol, then select a “symbol” bullet from the
list, only the first item in the list is affected.
