Lists

Requirements

When creating numbered or bulleted lists use built-in features located in the ribbon.  

Important Info

Avoid using blank spaces to create the visual appearance of a list, because assistive technology devices are unable to identify a grouping of text and blank spaces as a list and are deemed non-accessible.
