You can use the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+L" to start a bullet list.
You can use the shortcut "Alt+Ctrl+L" to start a numbered list.
You can also find all of your shortcut keys under the macro ListCommands.
To access this, go to Tools, click on Macros, then click on Macros under the
side menu. Where it says: "Macros in", select Word Commands. They are
listed in alphebetical order. So, double-click on ListCommands. It will
then ask you if you want to create it in a new menu & keyboard settings,
press ok. That will bring it up in a new document.
Hope this helps!
