Adding symbol after bullet point
I would like to insert a section symbol (§) after a bullet. I would like to
have this automated so I do not have to manually insert the symbol after every bullet point. I am using Word 2003. Is there a way I can go about doing this? |

Adding symbol after bullet point
Are you wanting this to be part of the bullet or part of the paragraph?

Adding symbol after bullet point
A "bulleted list" can have only one symbol (which could be § if desired),
but a "numbered" list can have specific text in addition to the "number," which can be a bullet. The trick is that you'll have to pick a "bullet" character from the same font as the section symbol and insert it manually (you can't, even in an outline-numbered list, select a bullet for the "Number style" and then add text to it). The easiest way to approach this is to select your bullet and section symbol from the Insert | Symbol dialog and insert them into your document. Then copy/paste (using Ctrl+V to paste) into the "Number format" box. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "laitkens" wrote in message ...

However I try to copy/paste section symbol in Number format box under Customize Outline Numbered List dialog and the system does not allow me to paste it... I appreciate any other ideas... |

I don't have any difficulty doing this. I insert § in the document, select it and Ctrl+C to copy it, then open the Numbering dialog and use Ctrl+V to paste it. What are you doing differently? Everything is the same! I use Word 2003 (11.8215.8202) SP3. And you? |

I'm using the same version and revision, so I can't explain why you're
getting different results. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Andrey Kazak" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S.

I do the following:
1) Apply Normal style to all text of a document; 2) Insert section sign (Unicode character 00A7) from of Times New Roman font from (Insert | Symbol) dialog to the document; 3) Select it and copy to a clipboard; 4) Select a line of text and go to "Customize outline numbered list" dialog; 5) Try to paste clipboard content to "Number format" box, BUT nothing is pasted... Maybe I have buggy Word version? What else to try? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I'm using the same version and revision, so I can't explain why you're getting different results. |

As I indicated in your other thread, I'm curious about (4). You should be
able to modify the numbering (of a style, preferably) without selecting text. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Andrey Kazak" wrote in message ...
