I'm editing a manuscript in which the author had manually indented several
portions of text (by hitting the space bar). I moved the text back to left
align, but now Word refuses to bullet it. When I place the cursor in front of
the selected text, the bullet icon goes blank. Wassup?

Hi Jerry

1. Try triple-clicking the offending paragraphs and then do ctrl-q and
ctrl-spacebar. That will remove any direct formatting applied to the text.

2. Now, do ctrl-Shift-l (l for leather). That will apply the List Bullet
style, which is the safest and most reliable way of applying bullets. If
that doesn't apply a bullet, then you'll need to modify the List Bullet
style accordingly.

Hope this helps.
