This is what we'll create in this episode: a recipe with a bulleted list of ingredients and a numbered list of steps, complete with hanging indent so the second line is neatly aligned. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Bulleted and numbered lists are used very often. In InDesign, bullets and numbers are automatically created so the order and spacing are always consistent.
Open the recipe file. Select all lines below the ingredients title. Click the bulleted list icon in the Control panel. Each paragraph now starts with a bullet. Bullets cannot be selected like regular text because they are automatically created by InDesign.
Select the paragraph below the 'Making' title and then click the numbered list icon. Paragraphs are now numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on. If the order of paragraphs is changed or a new paragraph is added, the numbers automatically adjust.
Hold Alt and click the bulleted list icon to open the Bullets and Numbering dialog. Here we can choose other bullet characters, number formats like dots or parentheses, and character styles for bullets or numbers.
Notice the second line of the long step. By default, it already indents to align with the text, not with the number. This is hanging indent, a combination of positive left indent and negative verse line indent. Set left indent to 6 mm and verse line indent to minus 6 mm for more space.
Click at the end of step three, press Enter, and type a new step. The new paragraph is automatically numbered 4, and the following steps shift to 5. You don't need to retype the numbers.
The list will be more attractive if the numbers are colored. In the Bullets and Numbering dialog, select the character style for the numbers. For now, we'll color the entire list paragraph with the text color. and later in the style module, we'll create a special style for numbering. Done.
We have created a bulleted and numbered list, opened the bullets and numbering dialog, adjusted the hanging indent, and saw the numbers automatically adjust. In the next episode, we create a price list using tab stops and leaders. Need a magazine layout design, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
