Pages detects when you’re typing a list and adds some basic formatting as you type.
In your document, place the insertion point where you want the list to begin.
Type a dash, a bullet (Option-8), or a letter or number followed by a period and a space.
For example, 1. or A. followed by a space.
Type the first item in your list, then press Return.
Every subsequent item in the list automatically begins with the same character. Numbers and letters are incremented accordingly.
To use a special character for the bullet, choose Edit > Emoji & Symbols (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen), then click a character from a bullet or star menu.
To change the indent level (hierarchy) of an item in the list, click anywhere in the item, then do one of the following:
Move the item to the right: Press Tab.
Move the item to the left: Press Shift-Tab.
To end the list, press Return twice, or press Delete on your keyboard.
If you don’t want Pages to automatically create lists, choose Pages > Preferences (from the Pages menu at the top of your screen). Click Auto-Correction at the top of the preferences window, then deselect the checkbox next to “Automatically detect lists.” The setting applies to all Pages documents.
