Automatic bullets
Hi Everyone,
I'm using Word 2007. I'd like to know if there's a way of permanently changing the style associated with automatic bullets. Personally, I don't like the way the bullet comes in from the margin and then only leaves a few spaces before the bulleted paragraph starts. I have tried to create my own bullet style, and this works while I have Word open - but when I re-open Word the following morning, the style has either disappeared or reverted to the standard automatic bullet style. Another issue is that if you alter the settings for the automatic bullets, it doesn't remember those settings for the next time you use bullets in the same document. I find this incredibly frustrating. Can anyone help me with this very annoying problem? Megan |

Automatic bullets
Creating a paragraph style with bullet formatting is the way to do this.
Note also that there are built-in styles named List Bullet, List Bullet 2, etc. which you can make use of. To save the changes of a style so that you can reuse it in future documents, choose the "New documents based on this template" option in the Modify Style dialog box. To display the Modify Style dialog box in Word 2007: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles pane. Click the Manage Styles button at the bottom. On the Edit tab, locate the style name, and click the Modify button. (Alternatively, for styles that are visible in the Styles pane, you can right-click and choose Modify from the context menu.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "galatea2153" wrote in message ...
