Note: I only have a problem with numbered lists. Though if I'm being completely honest, I don't quite yet understand how it works as I've never had to use it. I've tried recreating the abovementioned problem with a bulleted list, but I found that the indent remains consistent throughout (meaning I have no issues when it comes to bulleted lists).Īfterward, I tried the same with a multilevel list, but nothing happened there either.

I am currently in the process of digitizing old family recipes.įor procedures/directions/instructions, I use numbered lists for convenience.

Add spacing between list items When you apply paragraph spacing to a bullet or numbered list, sometimes the spacing is only applied above or below the entire list, not in between each item within the list. I use this feature constantly so here comes the annoying part. Paragraph spacing is a great way to add a little more space between your paragraphs.

Let me show you how to change the spacing between items in a list.

I like to have my list items spaced apart a little, I don’t want them all squashed together.
