Create a List in a Text Note

When adding or editing a text note, you can format the note as a list. Only single-level lists are supported.

In a bulleted or numbered list, Revit indents the list text based on the Tab Size type property. Pressing Tab will indent the text, but not the bullet or number.

Note: If the printed length of the bullet or alphanumeric character is greater than the Tab Size value, the first line in a multi-line list item will be indented 1 space rather than 1 tab length. All other lines in the list will be indented 1 tab length.

To create a list in a new text note

  1. Begin a text note, but before typing text, click (Paragraph Format), and select a list style.

    You can create a list without indicators, or one with bullets, numbers, lowercase letters, or uppercase letters.

  2. Enter text, and then click anywhere in the view to finish it.
    Tip: When you copy text into a note, the paragraph format of the note is applied to the text. For example, if you copy text into a bulleted list, the copied text is also bulleted.

To create a list from existing text

  1. Select the text you want to format.
  2. On the ribbon, click (Paragraph Format), and select a list style.
  3. Press Esc twice to end the command.
