There are several list types available in the Format>Paragraph dialog box. The basic types are numbered and bulleted. In most browsers, Menu and Directory List styles also appear as bulleted lists.

If you do not see the formatting you specify, you must make sure that list item tags (<LI>) precede each item in a regular (ordered or unordered) list. For a definition list, you must make sure that the correct definition tags (<DT> or <DD>) precede all the terms and definitions in the list. You must verify the positioning of the tags in Source view.
The two-part definition lists are more complicated. Procedures for using them are described separately.
