Default How to link bullet icon to List Bullet style?

Stefan,

Does that just work for me?
How do I do this in a document/template for multiple users per project?

I doubt I will be given access to everyone's Normal.dot* (various versions
of Word--mostly 2003 and 2007, but some 2010). But I need to ensure that
whatever method the user applies to get lists, the correct style is applied.

Years ago, I had done something (maybe VB?) that changed this for all users
of a template, but I cannot recall exactly what I had done.

Thanks,
Sandra

You can intercept the built-in FormatBulletDefault command by placing this
simple macro in your normal.dotm:

Sub FormatBulletDefault()
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Style = wdStyleListBullet
End Sub

For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

But note that this macro will only run if you click the Bullet button; it
doesn't run if you press the arrow on the Bullet button (which allows you to
choose a specific bullet format).

To apply the List Bullet style, it's actually easier to make use of the built-in
Ctrl+Shift+L shortcut.
