Add a numbered or bulleted list to a message

Use lists to show steps, action items, or key takeaways in your message. You can start with a new bulleted or numbered list, or you can convert existing paragraphs into a list.

Create a list from existing text

Select the paragraphs you want to change into a list.
On the ribbon, select the Message tab.
In the Basic Text section, select Bullets or Numbering to apply that formatting.

Tip: To apply a particular bullet or numbering style, select the down arrow next to Bullets or Numbering , then select the style you prefer.

Create a new list

Put the cursor in an empty paragraph where you want to start your list.
On the ribbon, select the Message tab.
In the Basic Text section, select Bullets or Numbering to apply that formatting.

Tip: To apply a particular bullet or numbering style, select the down arrow next to Bullets or Numbering , then select the style you prefer.
When the list is complete, put the cursor at the end of the last list item, then press Enter twice. This action starts a new Normal paragraph without list formatting.
