Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble inserting bullets in your Word documents. This can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're working with documents that have been created or edited by multiple people.
Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
- Check the paragraph formatting: Sometimes, the issue with inserting bullets can be caused by the paragraph formatting. Make sure that the paragraph you're trying to add bullets to is formatted as a bulleted list. To do this, select the paragraph and click on the "Bullets" button in the "Paragraph" section of the Home tab. If the button is grayed out, it means that the paragraph is not formatted as a bulleted list.
- Clear formatting: If the paragraph is already formatted as a bulleted list, try clearing the formatting and then reapplying it. To do this, select the paragraph and click on the "Clear Formatting" button in the "Font" section of the Home tab. Then, click on the "Bullets" button to reapply the bullet formatting.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Instead of using the "Bullets" button, try using the keyboard shortcut to insert bullets. To do this, type an asterisk (*) followed by a space at the beginning of the paragraph. Word should automatically convert this to a bullet point.
- Copy and paste: If none of the above solutions work, try copying and pasting the text into a new document. This can sometimes help to clear any formatting issues that may be causing the problem.
I hope these solutions help you to insert bullets in your Word documents without any issues. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
