For regular lists The Format Paragraph dialog box inserts the list container in your document. You must insert LI elements for each list item.
For definition lists The Format Paragraph dialog box inserts DL, DT, and DD elements when you choose the Definition Term and Definition styles. You might have to type one or more of these elements directly in the source code.
To insert the list container:
If the list items are already in the document, select all the items
or
Put the insertion point in the body where the list should be.
Choose Format>Paragraph and select a list style.
When you click OK, the properties dialog box for the list appears. The list style name shown matches the element, not the styles of the first dialog box. (For example, Numbered List is now called Ordered List for the OL element.)
Set properties if you want to, and click OK.
For regular lists, add <LI> tags before the list items.
For definition lists, make sure <DT> and <DD> tags are included before the appropriate definition list items.
