How to use text formatting in messages

[barry_pat]

I know there's a way to make text bold or use bullets because saw it happen in one of my messages somewhere along the line. But I can't remember how to do it. Anybody?

Thanks!

Hi Pat,

Yes, you're right -- and they surely add a bit more flexibility in how you communicate and give Upwork thread updates to clients.

Check out this thread to learn about those shortcuts for formatting:

In addition to the shortcuts and such that Jody linked to, bullet points can be done by pressing Alt+7 (on the numpad) in Windows, or Option+8 on MacOS.
