Here's how to do it:

1. Select the items in a bulleted or numbered list.
2. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the AZ button to choose Sort.
3. In the "Sort Text" dialog box under "Sort by" click Paragraphs, and for "Type" click text, and then click either Ascending (A to Z) or Descending (Z to A).

Non-bulleted Items Within a Bulleted or Numbered List in Word

Submitted by schwarz on

When you're creating a bulleted or numbered list in Word or PowerPoint, you might want an item to appear on the list without a bullet, like this:

  • Non- Fiction
  • Fiction
    Mysteries
    Romances
    Science Fiction
  • Audiobooks

To do this, press the Shift key and the Enter key; this will start a new line without a bullet.

The next time you press the Enter key, the new line will continue the bulleted or numbered list.
