Answer 1

You have to type:

1.
2.
3.

There's no quick function like there is in Microsoft Word. Sorry =)

Answer 2

If you are asking how to do a list while typing an answer like how Word will automatically see you are making a list and format it accordingly...

This will not work on Yahoo, because you are just typing in a simple text box in your browser. The best thing to do is just type it in...

1. list 1
(press enter)
2. list 2

and so on

Answer 3

You might be asking how to do this using HTML or using MS Word.

In HTML you can make a numbered list using the "ordered list" tag:

Answer 4

Unfortunately, for those of us who hate autoformatting, list is usually turned on by default. So as soon as you keep hitting return, Word formats the lines as a list. Annoying.

If it doesn't auto format, select all the lines you want to be in the list, then choose Format->Bullets and Numbers. You can find this in the menubar or in the formatting palette.

Answer 5

Presumably in MS Word??

You can use the Numbered bullet point icon. Just open Word and do a search on "numbered lists" in the Help.

Answer 6

a list? start from the top and work your way down 1 to 10 top to bottom duhhhh

Answer 7

What are you using to do this? A programming language, an application (excel or Word etc?).
