Yet another simple task made difficult (impossible at the moment)

The default bullet I can pick from the ribbon is set with a hanging
indent and tab stop that dont align...just plain dumb. So how the hell
do I change the format of any of the bullets in the ribbon drop down
list????

You have a menu option to define a new bullet, but that doesnt provide
for applying paragraphs to it. Where do you modify a bullets formating

Everyone talks about the lost time due to viruses, I would guess the
business work has lost time due to the lost productivity by upgrading
to Office 2007 than all the viruses combined.

Thanks in advance

And another thing. You used to be able to carry the bullet forward to
the next. If you were on a bullet formated line and pressed the enter
key, the curso would drop down to the next line and this line would
inherit the bullet format of the line above. You could then hit the
space bat to create a temporary holding hardspace and then hit the
delete key to bring the existing text from the next line up so it
inherited the bulelt format.

Now this doesnt work and as soon as you bring text from the next line
up using the delete key, the line holds a bullet format, but with a
different hanging indent. Why??????







blan character by pressing the enter key to drop down to the next
line

As in previous versions, the bullet button applies the most recent format.
For more control, you may want to make use of a bulleted paragraph style.
For example, you can apply the List Bullet style by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L.

Ctrl+Alt+L inserts a LISTNUM field. Ctrl+Shift+L applies the List Number
style.

I learned something, too. I wasn't aware of the Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut (not
that I ever use LISTNUM fields, but still...).
