Open the 'Alignment and Spacing' sub-menu in the Formatting Palette. Adjust the amount of space between paragraphs by clicking the Paragraph Spacing's 'Up' triangle once for each 6-point paragraph space (0 is the default).
4.
Indent selected paragraphs by adjusting the position of the Left Indent marker in the ruler. Click-and-drag only the triangle portion, which sits directly on top of the square left-margin marker.
5.
Add bullets or numbers to a list of items on separate lines by choosing a Bullets and Numbering style from the main menu's Format pop-up menu.
