# prefix-word

# Prefix Word (For a List Item)

Word or phrase that is to be added to the beginning of each item in a list (for example, “ `Step` ”, “ `Procedure` ”).

## Remarks

Display/Formatting Note: Any prefix word is in addition to and typically precedes any prefix characters (numbers, bullets). For example, a list type of “ `order` ” and a prefix word of “ `Step` ” would produce: “ `Step1. aaaa` ”, “ `Step2. bbbb` ”, “ `Step3. cccc` ”, etc. Note that typically, no white space follows the inserted word, i.e., “ `Step` ” rather than “ `Step` ”.

The standard exception to this order is the bulleted list, in which the prefix character would precede the prefix word—“ `• Step` ” rather than “ `Step•` ”.
