Issues with simple numbered and bulleted lists

Trying to format with just simple bullets and lists is incredibly frustrating. I'm not sure why such a simple thing is so difficult. 

I want to do a list like this:

  1. First item
  2. Second item
    1. Sub  bullet
    2. Sub bullet
  3. Third item continuing the list. 

You know, like I was just able to do right there, yet can't do in Rise. Is there any way to do this??

 

  • Wow, it's been over a year since anything was posted in this forum.  I am experiencing the same frustration with bullet points within a numbered list.  I guess there have been no helpful updates, Angelo?  :(

      Thanks for following up on this request, Jennifer, and I'm sorry for the trouble with the bullet points! Our product engineers are still looking into adding this change to Rise 360; we're careful about testing new updates to make sure we don't put other features at risk.

      We'll surely let you know once we have news to share!

  • If I try to use the indent tool, it only indents the second two bullets, not the first. Also, it seems not possible to continue the numbering after the bullets in the middle.

    Hi Jeffrey,

    Yes, it's possible to do this kind of bullet alignment. 

    Create your list, and apply the bullet style to all items in the list.

    Then select both sub-bullets.

    From the Text Formatting Toolbar, on the bottom row, click on the Increase Indent button.

    This will indent the sub-bullets and change the bullet style as well.

    Note: if you are using a numbered list, be prepared to be even more frustrated because strange things happen to the numbering of the sub-bullets.

      Hi Jeffrey,

      Regarding your second post, don't try and get all the formatting and alignment correct using a single text block.

      Rather use a stack of text blocks, sometimes even having only a single line of text in a text block.

      It's much easier to get the alignment and indenting correct this way, and from a student perspective it's not obvious that multiple text blocks were used.

        I got it to this point, but highlighting and indenting the little sub list, then clicking increase indent, only indents the second two. So close.

      Yes, this was close! But that indent only indents the second 2 bullets in the sub-list, not the first. smh.

    I second this request! The lists are very difficult to format.

    I'll third it, thanks.

    I need to be able to replicate numbered bullets in a legislation document within a Tabs block

    Need the format to be...

    1. blah blah blah

    a. blah blah blah

    i. blah blah blah

    Just wondering if there's any update on being able to indent sub bullets?
    It would definitely assist with content creation

    Desperately need this! It's a basic formatting element, so it's very frustrating that it's not available in Rise. 

    Edited to add: I'm glad that I can do this in a standard text box, but it's a bummer that I can't use the actual bulleted list feature.
