When I convert my document from docx to doc, my bulleted items ind up
dropping the associated text to the next line as well as dropping the first
character (or maybe it's converting the first char to a control charater
causing the line drop). How do I convert it?

Check the settings for indentation and tab stops for your bulleted items. If
this is single-level bullets, right-click and choose Adjust List Indents from
the context menu.

On the other hand, if you are dealing with multilevel lists, use Home tab |
Multilevel List | Define New Multilevel List to display a dialog box similar
to the Customize Outline Numbered List of Word 97-2003. Click the More button
to see all of the options for indentation.

Unfortunately I cannot put in screenshots here so this is somewhat difficult
to explain.

First, as for your response, I believe I only have 'single level lists' but
I do not see the menu item you mention on right click so I am not sure where
to look. As for multilevel there didn't seem to be an option for the issues I
am seeing.

Therefore, let me re-explain:

In docx, my bullet might look like:

* my info here

In doc after save as doc it looks like:

*
y info here

notice it drops a line and the 'm' is gone
