Create a List in a Text Note

When adding or editing a text note, you can format the note as a list.

In a bulleted or numbered list, Revit indents the list text based on the Tab Size type property.

To create a list in a new text note

1. Click into the text note to open the Edit Text tab.
2. On the Paragraph panel, click a list style:
   • (No List: used to remove lists from text)
   • (Bullets)
   • (Numbers)
   • (Letters - Uppercase)
   • (Letters - Lowercase).
3. Enter text.
4. Press Enter to create a new list item.

   To place an unnumbered or non-bulleted line to a list item, or add a blank line between list items, place your cursor at the end of a paragraph and press Shift+Enter. The caret moves to a new line but does not create a new paragraph.

5. Optionally, to create a hierarchical multilevel list, click in a list item and use the following tools to create and remove child list items:
   • Modify | Text Notes tab Paragraph panel (Increase Indent)
   • Modify | Text Notes tab Paragraph panel (Decrease Indent)
   The increments of the list will change accordingly. In certain cases, you may want to adjust the starting numbers of the list. Click in a list item and use the following tools to adjust the numbering:

   • Modify | Text Notes tab Paragraph panel (Increment List Value)
   • Modify | Text Notes tab Paragraph panel (Decrement List Value)
6. Click Modify | Text Notes tab Paragraph panel (Close) to close the Edit Text tab.

Tip: When you copy text into a note from an external source, 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 but may not be a true list. Multilevel lists from external sources will not maintain list items when pasted.
