This tool automatically punctuates bulleted or numbered lists, and reapplies this punctuation when the layout or order of the list changes.
The methods supported by this tool are given in the following table.
There are several standard ways of punctuating bulleted lists, whether with ‘,’ or ‘;’ or ‘.’ marks. Some methods require an ‘and’ too.
All of the methods are invoked in the same way. Place the cursor in the bulleted list and press the shortcut key. The correct punctuation is applied.
If the rule has a " and", this will be inserted in the second to last line as shown.
The method works in regular text and inside table cells.
The routine also strips out unwanted punctuation and applies the correct one, including ‘and’s .
In this example, the order of the list has been changed and the ", and" has been removed before the correct punctuation applied.
Methods 1-3 leave the character of the first letter unchanged, so that sentence-like lists are supported. Switching off “Capitalize the first letter of sentences” in the AutoCorrrect options helps for these methods too.
