In this Three Minutes Max video, Mike Rankin demos an easy way to put numbers in circles—even inside a numbered list! He uses a carefully crafted paragraph rule and builds that rule into a paragraph style to automate the process.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
