Default Multiple bullet points on one line

I am creating a resume and I would like to separate the heading information with bullet points. What is the best way to do this instead of using "Insert Symbol?"

I created a 3-column table with no borders and I was able to insert a bullet point in the cells but it was a hassle to make sure the cells were evenly spaced.

Also how I can get rid of text indents inside a table cell? My address is already aligned to the left of the cell but I want to make sure that it lines up correctly with my name.

Default Multiple bullet points on one line

The bullet is a character like any other -- if you don't want to open
Insert Symbol every time, you can memorize its Unicode code number and
type it followed by Alr-X, or you can create a keyboard shortcut (you
do that from within the Insert Symbol panel).

Alternatively, go to the Home tab and click the button for a bulleted
list.

I don't know what you mean by "evenly spaced" -- in comparison to
what?

Many factors contribute to positioning in a cell. Check the following:

- the Style assigned to the cell paragraph (make sure it has no
indents or "Space Before")

- the cell margins (go to the Table Layout tab, Properties at the far
left, Table tab, click "Options," set the L and R to 0, then go to the
Cell tab and do the same thing if "same as entire table" is not
checked)

- the cell alignment (select the cells you're dealing with, go to
Layout again and find the array of 9 boxes showing L, C, R / T, M, B,
and click one of the ones with Left alignment)

- delete any tab or space characters that may be to the left of what
you're aligning
