Increases the level of an
existing numbered or
unnumbered list
(increases the
indentation)
Only works for text that has already been
formatted with one of the ‘Bullet item,’ ‘Dash
item,’ or ‘Num item’ buttons before.
Please only use this button with nested lists.
If you want to create, e.g., a numbered list
with bulleted subitems, you should first select
all items and click on the ‘Num item’ button.
Then select the subitems and hit the ‘Dash
item’ button. Finally, apply ‘List level up’ to
the subitems. The indentation will be shifted
to the next level and the dashes will be con-
verted to bullets since bullets represent the
second level of the ‘Dash item’ list template.

(decreases the

Only works for text that has already been
formatted with one of the ‘Bullet item,’ ‘Dash
item,’ or ‘Num item’ buttons and has been
shifted to a higher level.
Please only use this button with nested lists.
2.4 How to Format Text and Paragraphs
Button Effect Description
Formats normal text Depending on the current selection, this but-
ton either applies the default font or it applies
the default paragraph format:
If an entire paragraph (or nothing) is selected,
and the underlying format is different from the
standard paragraph format: The standard
paragraph format is applied to the selection.
If an entire paragraph (or nothing) is selected,
and the underlying format is already the
standard paragraph format: The standard
character style is applied to the selection.
If text is selected that does not follow the
default character style: The standard charac-
ter style is applied to the selection.
If text is selected that already follows the
default character style: The standard para-
graph format is applied to the selection.
If you want to apply the standard paragraph
format and remove a nonstandard character
style, simply click on the button twice.
Please note that standard paragraphs are not
indented after headings, captions, lists, etc., but
they have a first-line indent in all other cases.
