moment to acknowledge the lands on which you

What are Accessible Lists?
What is a list?
Lists organize information in your document.
Lists are either unordered (Bullets) or ordered (Numbering).
Why are lists important?
Correctly formatted lists are important for all users, especially those with print
disabilities, so the information is organized and easy to read.
For screen reader users, the information will be presented as a list that can be
navigated to and within and read as a list of items rather than in paragraph form.

How to Create Accessible Lists?
Creating Accessible Lists
When you make lists in your document use the direct formatting list options. Don’t
make lists with manually typed characters like dashes, numbers, asterisks, or
graphics.
If you have a multi-leveled or nested list, then we recommend using the ordered list
formatting.
How to add lists to your document.
Word: In the home toolbar > Select the button “Bullets,” “Numbering,” or “Multilevel
Lists.”
Pages: In the formatting side bar > Select an option from the “Bullets & Lists”
dropdown menu.
Google Docs: In the main toolbar > Select the button “Bullet lists” or “Numbered
lists.”
LibreOffice: In the formatting toolbar > Select the button “Bullets On/Off” or
“Numbering On/Off.”
