MasteringOrdered (Numbered) Lists
Unlike a bulleted list, in which sequence is not vital, order is important in the ordered (or numbered) list.
The major advantage of an ordered list is the automatic generation of list item numbers and automatic
renumbering when you??™re editing. If you??™ve ever had to renumber a legal document because paragraph 14.b
became paragraph 2.a, you recognize the timesaving benefits of this feature.
Ordered lists offer a slightly wider variety of built-in styles than unordered lists, but you cannot customize
the leading character further. For instance, you cannot surround a character with parentheses or offset it
with a dash. Once again, the browser is the final arbiter of how your list is viewed.

Creating Lists 15
Many of the same techniques used with unordered lists work with ordered lists. To start a new numbered
list in Dreamweaver, place your cursor where you want the new list to begin. Then, in the Text Property
inspector, click the Ordered List button or choose Text ??? List ??? Ordered List. You can also click the
Ordered List button in the Text category of the Insert bar.
As with unordered lists, you can also convert existing paragraphs into a numbered list. First, select your
text; then click the Ordered List button on the Property inspector or choose Text ??? List ??? Ordered List.
