How can I customize bullets in Word 2007?
Just more frustration with Word 2007 and its organization. In old Word we
used to be able to customize bullets so that for example, using a bullet in a table wouldn't take up half the cell space because of preset alignments. Now, it appears we cannot change and set new alignments (indents, etc.). After wasting more than 45 minutes trying to figure it out yet another old function, there seems to be no way to do this anymore. Please note: 1) I've already done the "define new bullet" option in the Paragraph group but it doesn't let you change indentation. 2) You can change using the ruler above but that doesn't save the changes for the rest of the cells, only the cell you're working in which means you have to re-set it in every single cell. So, if anyone has any suggestions besides those two, I'd like to hear them. Please. Before I resort to old Word. |

It doesn't give me that option. I cannot make my own "changes" they are all
preset. "grammatim" wrote: Change the Style used for the table cell. On Jan 17, 7:38 pm, cllr8586 wrote: Just more frustration with Word 2007 and its organization.

What doesn't give you that option? Unless this is a protected form (or the
document is protected in some other way), you should be able to change the style of any paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

Observe my deiliberate ambiguity: apply a different Style, or Modify
the existing Style. On Jan 18, 10:02*am, "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What doesn't give you that option?

If this is single-level numbering and you want to change the indentation for
the list, right-click and choose Adjust List Indents from the context menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cllr8586" wrote in message ... It doesn't give me that option.
