Vertical Lists
Numbered lists should only be used when the order of the items matters or should be followed.
To register for classes follow this procedure:
1.Dial 734.487.3309.
2.Punch the numbers for your status and semester.
3.Enter your PIN.
4.Follow the remaining instructions.
If the introductory matter and the list items make up a complete sentence, punctuate the individual items, or the entire list, as a full sentence.
If punctuation labors the list with unwanted complication, or if no individual items are punctuated, most punctuation is unnecessary.This summer's campers will be treated to
