Choose any of the following that apply
1.
How is this?
2.
I can figure this one myself.
3.
The pink elephant is drunk.
The above was selected to demonstrate how to use Bulleting to create a
select list or menu with check (tick) off boxes or circles.
Go to Format → Bullets and Numbering... → Options → Before
For a nicely format circle I use uppercase 'o' , but you can use
parentheses ( ) or brackets [], this done with a space between left
bracket and right bracket.
Carets will also work <> < >. Use your imagination. You can experiment
with a space after the “box”.
In the above example, none of the check (tick) boxes/circles appeared in
my outgoing email. I can't tell if they will appear to you, probably
not. I have the .odt file with the example as an attachment, or, if the
list won't allow you to access it, I can send it separately.
