Hi Tom, You can create the list before you start typing the text - it saves doing the selection step. For example, if you are writing a paragraph, and do ctrl-h-l it will create a new list item where you can begin typing "one". And then, press return twice at the end of each list item - the first time creates a new paragraph in the same list item and the second one makes it a new item instead. In general the enter key successively starts new elements. If, for example, you are in a dt in a dl in a div in another div, enter will offer, depending on how often in a row you hit it 1. A new dt 2. A new dd 3. A new p inside the same div, but outside the dl 4. A new p outside the first div but inside the second 5. A new p outside both divs (or something like that...) cheers Chaals On Tue, 27 Dec 2005 11:48:28 +0100, Tom Cloyd <tomcloyd@bestmindhealth.com> wrote: > > I'm struggling to understand how to easily create a list in Amaya.
