How can I use lists in Contractbook editor?

When applying lists from the  editor's formatting features, you will be able to:
  • Customize your list style at any point after choosing the initial list formatting option from the main editor's menu.
    • For example, by changing 1. to a. or i., etc.):

  • Reset list numbering at any point: You can start a new list instead of continuing the previous one (for example: 1.; 2.; 3.; 1.):

  • Enter new paragraphs or add tables and images between adjacent line items without breaking the numbering/sequence in the lists:

  • Easily navigate the lists only while using your keyboard commands:
    • Enter: to add a new item on the next line to your list
    • Backspace: remove an item in your list located in front of your mouse cursor
    • Delete: remove an item in your list after your mouse cursor
  • Format the list of items along with the text surrounding the list:

When I try to create new line items, I cannot get the sub-points in lists - why?

If you choose one of the list items numbering options in the editor of your contracts, and it includes any of the following options:

  • 1. - 1.1. - 1.1.1. 
  • A - A.A - A.A.A
  • A - A.a - A.a.i
  • 1. - a. - 1. a.i
  • I. - I.I. - I.I.I.
  • I. - I.a. - I.a.i.
  • When you press Enter - the new line will count only the main points from each type of numbered list you have selected.
  • To intend and reach the following points (for example, from 1. to 1.1 and then sub-point 1.1.1) - you need to click on the Tab keyboard command after Enter.  
  • By doing that, you will first add the new main point and turn it into the next in the sequence sub-point you have chosen.  
  • You can keep doing the same as many times as needed to achieve the final list structure you need for your document:

Can I switch between using numbers and letters?

For example, if you want to combine - 1.1. - point - then sub-points (a) and (i, ii, iii) in the same list:

These formatting options are now part of our editor:

  • You can find them under the bullet list:

  • And under the ordered list:

Can I have my lists formatted in bold?

  • If you select the Heading text formatting option instead of Paragraph, you will have the numbers in your numbered lists formatted in bold:
