How To Create Unordered Lists In Microsoft Word For Android
Enter some text that you want to be organized in a list: you should enter the list elements on new lines, so the result looks something like this:
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Unordered lists are a great way for structuring information when the list elements' order does not matter: shopping lists, daily to-do lists, or travel checklistsl. To create such lists, select your list elements.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Then tap the A icon in the top row to open the Home menu.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Now, scroll through the Home menu, until you see the two list types: Bullets and Numbering.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Tap Bullets to access unordered list types.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Tap one of the symbols you like from the list: this will mark the different list elements.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
That's it! You have created a simple, unordered list.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
To turn off the bullets and disable this list, select the list elements and tap Bullets.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Then tap the None icon from the list of bullets.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
There you have it: the list has been turned off.

How To Create Ordered Lists In Microsoft Word For Android
Ordered lists are required when the order of the list elements is important, like when you are creating a list of successive steps to be performed to complete a task.
You will again need a list of elements on new lines to be included on the list. Select these lines and on the Home menu tap Numbering to access ordered list types.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Then tap an ordered list style to create it.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Done, your list is ready!
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
To turn off the list, tap Numbering again while the list is selected.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Here, tap None to turn off the list.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
This way you get your simple list elements back.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
How To Multilevel Lists In Microsoft Word For Android
Sometimes a simple list is not enough, you need more levels to structure the information even further. To do this, select the elements on your list that you want to move to a sublevel - this works the same way, no matter whether you have an ordered or unordered list.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Now, tap the Increase indent button below the two list types on the Home menu.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
This makes the selected list elements go to the right and change their list symbol, thus showing that they are on a different list level.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
To change the sublevel symbol, select the elements on the sublevel then tap Bullets or Numbering - you can have ordered sublevels for an unordered list or vice versa, so you can choose whichever you like.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
Then choose a different symbol or numbering type for the sublevel.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
To bring back a sublevel to the previous one, thus disabling the multilevel list, select the sublevel elements and tap the Decrease indent icon below the two list types on the Home menu.
Android, Microsoft, Office, Word, list, ordered, unordered, bullets, numbers, edit, options
The sub level is moved back to the previous level and your list becomes a simple one again.

Conclusion
Although Microsoft Word for Android has to show a decent number of features in a much smaller space, the designers did quite a good job with the lists. The two types of lists are very easy to set up and manipulate, you just need to tap a few icons to get things working and keep your thoughts organized.
