Using Numbered Lists
For a sequence of items, creating a numbered list is a good alternative to a bulleted list. For example, a series of procedural steps or a list of dollar amounts from highest to lowest would work well in a numbered list. You can create numbered lists with actual numbers, Roman numerals, or letters of the alphabet.
To change a bulleted list or other text to a numbered list, select the text and click the Numbering button on the Formatting toolbar.

You can also create a numbered list by pressing the Backspace key at the beginning of a bulleted list, typing the number 1 (or the letter a if you're using letters instead of numbers), pressing the Tab key, and entering your first list item. PowerPoint then continues the numbering series when you press Enter to move to the second line.
To change the numbering style of selected text, follow these steps:
Choose Format, Bullets and Numbering and go to the Numbered tab, shown in Figure 3.11.
Select one of the seven number styles that appear. Choosing None removes the numbered list.
Choose a color from the Color drop-down list. For additional color choices, click More Colors to open the Colors dialog box.
