About This Feature

Overview

Unordered List is a document formatting feature in WPS Office for Windows that helps you present parallel ideas with bullet points. It is useful for meeting notes, task lists, study notes, summaries, and other content that does not need a numbered sequence.

Core ways to use this feature include:

Insert an unordered list with a slash command while writing.
Insert an unordered list from the ribbon for a visual workflow.
Convert an existing paragraph into an unordered list from the paragraph handle.
Add an unordered list from the Insert menu.
Create an unordered list with Markdown-style input such as * + Space or - + Space.

After you enter one item, press Enter to continue the list. Press Enter twice to end the list and return to a normal paragraph. This makes WPS unordered list editing useful for quick note-taking and structured writing in WPS Office on Windows.

Capability Summary	Supports creating unordered lists through slash commands, the ribbon, the paragraph handle, the Insert menu, and Markdown-style input. Press Enter to continue adding items.	Word for the web supports basic bulleted lists from Home > Paragraph > Bullets, and Enter continues the list.	Google Docs supports bulleted lists from the toolbar and lets users change bullet types and indents.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines visual entry points with slash commands and Markdown-style input in one document workflow, which fits both mouse-based and keyboard-based editing habits.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on standard bulleted list controls and does not describe slash-command or Markdown-style entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs offers list customization and indent controls, while the official workflow centers on toolbar and format-menu actions.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports slash commands and Markdown-style entry, but its workflow is block-based rather than a traditional document ribbon workflow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat list editing is tied to PDF text editing, so the editing context differs from regular document drafting.
