Adding more vertical space between bullet items
Using Word 2003 at work, Word 2007 at home. I am writing this from work.
I want to make another bullet style that has a bit more vertical space between bullet items. The default bullet spacing appears to be single spaced. Original: * ;lkj;lkj;lkj;lk lkjk;lkljl * j;lkjlkl kljkj * lkjlkjlkj I want this: * lkjhlkjhljhlkjh kjlkjhlkjhlkjhlkjh kjlhlkjhjk * ;lkj;lkj;lkj;lkj ;lkj;lk;ljk * ;lkj;lkj;lk;lkj;kj I want to adjust the vertical space between the items. When I pick Modify Style on the original I see : No List + Font:Symbol, 12 pt, Indent: Left: 0.25", hanging: 0.25", Outline numbered + Level : 1 + Numbering Style: Bullet + Aligned at: 0.25" + Tab after: 0.5" + Indent at: 0.5" I don't see how to change the vertical spacing between bullet items. I also want to make sure that this new spacing is the default because I rarely use single spaced bullets. sTeveK |

Adding more vertical space between bullet items
Look at the Paragraph style and first make sure that the option 'Don't add
space between paragraphs of the same style' is unchecked. Then make sure that the Space After is set to 6 or 12 pts (or whatever you want). Make sure to check the Save to Template option. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "stevek" wrote in message ... Using Word 2003 at work, Word 2007 at home. I am writing this from work.

When I select a bullet style and go to the Modify Style window and select
the Format button I see the "Paragraph..." choice as grey'd out. I can't change the Paragraph settings. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Adding more vertical space between bullet items
You don't modify the bullet style -- you just modify the "text" -- by going
to the Format Menu -- choosing Paragraph... and selecting either 1 1/2 line spacing... or put in 6, 9, or 12 (or whatever) in the Spacing "after" option. -- Kathryn Groves "stevek" wrote in message ...

Adding more vertical space between bullet items
Thanks. That makes an entry in the Styles list called "After: 12pt".
I would like to keep that style for reuse on other documents. When I select the "After: 12 pt" entry in the list of styles and go to the Modify Style window and check the box "Add to template" it gets rid of the bullet at the beginning of each line.

With the cursor in the paragraph, right-click on the original style (the one
that after: 12pt) is based on and choose Update style to match selection. The After: 12pt style should disappear and the bullets will now work as required. Terry "stevek" wrote in message ... Thanks.
