Creating Numbered Lists
Creating numbered lists is a little more difficult than simply creating bulleted lists in Visio. That's because Visio has no actual built-in support for numbered lists—but you can format and create them anyway.
Here are the steps to follow—first format the text that will go into a text block, giving it a list format:
- Select a text block.
- Select Format > Text or right-click the text block and select Format Text. Visio displays the Text dialog.
- Click the Text Block tab. Visio displays the Text Block tab, as shown in Figure 3.31.
Figure 3.31 Using the Text Block tab.
- Select Top in the Alignment box.
- Click the Paragraph tab. Visio displays the Paragraph tab, as shown in Figure 3.32.

- Select Left in the Alignment box.
- Enter a value, such as 0.25, in the Indentation Before Text box. This sets the left indent.
- Enter a value, such as -.25, in the Indentation First Line box. This gives you space to type the number before every item in the list.
- Click OK. Visio closes the Text dialog.

That sets up the formatting for the list.
Now you can create items in the list like this:
- Type the item's number, starting with 1.
- Press Tab.
- Enter the text for the item.
- Press Enter.
- Repeat the process for the other items in the list.
You can see a sample numbered list in Figure 3.33.
