Bulleted List

In this tutorial, we are going to tell you how to create a bulleted list with Aspose.Words for .NET. A bulleted list is used to list items without using numbering.

Step 1: Using a document generator

First, we’ll use a document generator to add content to our document.

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();

Step 2: Applying a Default Bulleted List

We can apply a default bulleted list using the document builder’s ApplyBulletDefault method.

builder.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault();

Step 3: Customizing the Bullet Format

We can customize the bullet format by accessing the properties of ListFormat.List.ListLevels[0]. In this example, we use the dash “-” as a bullet.

builder.ListFormat.List.ListLevels[0].NumberFormat = "-";

Step 4: Adding items to the list

Now we can add items to the bulleted list using the document builder’s Writeln method.

builder. Writen("Element 1");
builder. Writen("Element 2");

Step 5: Removing indentation from the list

If we want to create a sublist, we can increase the indentation using the ListFormat.ListIndent() method. In this example, we are adding a sublist to items 2a and 2b.

builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder. Writeln("Element 2a");
builder.Writeln("Element 2b");

Example source code for Bulleted List using Aspose.Words for .NET

builder.Writeln("Item 2");

builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();

builder.Writeln("Item 2a");
builder.Writeln("Item 2b");
