Hey Joe-

The regular bullets button on the Formatting Toolbar 'remembers' the
specifics of the last bullet formatting used until you switch to something
different. So...

Customize your bullets while working in your template to whatever you want
through the FormatBullets and Numbering dialog box. Type a temporary list to
apply the bullets (by using the button to test it), then you can delete the
list & save the template. Your custom bullets will then be set as the default
in any new docs based on the template.

Hi,

I'd like to create a template so that users can click the "Apply List
Bullet" button from the toolbar and get an indent of 1 cm (rather than the
default 1.25 cm). (Obviously, I could create a new style and assign it a new
button; I just don't think I could persuade the users to click on it). Since
we'll still be using 1.25 for most documents, I don't want to modify
normal.dot.

Thanks very much,
Joe
