Hello. I have a question about using pages on the mac using VoiceOver. I'm wondering how to insert bullet points when using VoiceOver, like if you're making a list.
Thanks.

Follow the below steps to make bulleted lists in Pages.

1. Type items you want for the bulleted list. Be sure to separate each item by pressing return after each one.
2. Navigate to the top of the list you typed then select the list using shift with the down arrow key.
3. Press VO j to jump to the formatter group.
4. Use VO with the arrow keys to navigate to the styles radio button and make sure it is selected. If it isn’t selected, use VO plus the spacebar to select it.
5. Use VO with the arrow keys to navigate to the text formatter scroll area and interact with it with vo plus shift plus down arrow.
6. Use VO plus the arrow keys to navigate to the bullets and lists disclosure triangle. If it isn’t already expanded, use VO plus backslash to expand it.
7. Navigate to the popup button which says no bullets and select it with VO plus the spacebar. Use Vo plus the arrow keys to navigate to the type of bullets you want and press enter.
8. Next, navigate to the bullet type combo box and press vo plus the spacebar to open it. 9. Navigate to the type of bullet you wish to display and press vo plus the spacebar.
10. Finally, stop interacting with the bullet type combo box and the formatter, navigate back to your document area, and interact to explore the changes that were made. hope this helps.

2 more ways to add bullets in pages.

1. You can manually insert a bullet by pressing option plus 8.
2. navigate to the formatter group and interact, navigate to the text formatter scroll area and interact, then select the paragraph styles popup button just past the bullets and lists tag.
Once you select the type of bullets you want, navigate back to the body of the document and begin typing your list. To end the list, press enter at least twice and the paragraph style will return to normal.

Hope this helps.
