Lists

The slides designed to show text information contain blocks of the "Text” type (text placeholders). Since text in presentations is most often in the form of lists, the default list style applies to the text placeholders. Thus, the text is entered to the text placeholders as a list. If needed, the list in the placeholders can be modified or converted into text.

Lists can also be created manually in any other presentation elements. For example, in the shapes or tables.

1.Specify the location/text/element to create the list:

•To start the list on an empty line, place the cursor in this line.
