Tip #79 - Multilevel Lists in Word

Tip #79 - Multilevel Lists in Word

For those times when you need to make an outline or other kind of multilevel list, Word has a dandy feature to help you. On the Home tab ribbon you’ll find the multilevel list option in the Paragraph group. Clicking on the down triangle reveals the assortment of lists that are available including numbered and bulleted lists. But that’s not all. These basic list types can be customized.

Clicking on one of the choices will insert the first level of the list. Pressing the Enter/Return key will duplicate the level that you were just using. For example if you are using a multilevel list that has numbers, the first paragraph will have a “1” inserted at the beginning and pressing the Enter/Return key will insert the number “2”. To indent to the second level you need to press the Enter/Return key, which will repeat the previous level, and then you press the Tab key. The Tab key indents you to the second level which might then insert a lower case “a”, if that’s the style you chose. When you have finished entering all of your second level entries you press the Enter/Return key again and then use a Shift Tab (holding down the Shift key and pressing the Tab key) to return to level 1.

An alternative to using the Tab and Shift-Tab keys is the indent options on the Home tab, just to the right of the multilevel list option.

I sometimes find it easier to format the list after I've typed it. I turn on the multilevel list feature and then just type it as one long list. I then select all of the text that needs to be indented and click on the increase indent option. I find Word plays nicer using this approach.

Happy Computing!

Tip #78 - PowerPoint Show

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #78 - PowerPoint Show

The next time you create a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) consider saving it one last time as a PowerPoint Show (.ppsx). The advantage of a PowerPoint Show is that when you double click on the file, it opens immediately into the show view and you will not need to manually turn on the slide show. Now on the face of it that doesn't seem like much of an advantage but here’s the important thing to consider, anyone double clicking on the file would be in the slide show view. So if you were to attach your PowerPoint Show to an email, the file would open and run when the recipient double clicked on it, even if they didn't have PowerPoint on their computer.

To get the greatest impact from this you should add timings to your presentation so it runs automatically or somehow let the viewer know that they have to click to move through the show. You can accomplish this by adding back/forward arrows or just adding a note on the first slide telling the viewer to click to advance through the presentation. Any animations or transitions you added to the show would still be active. You can get really fancy and add a voiceover to the presentation.

PowerPoint Shows are particularly popular around the holidays showing snowy scenes indicating when you need to click to view the lights going on in the house or to click on the reindeer’s nose to see it light up, etc. These files are generally a PowerPoint Show.
