Bullet points not behaving
Ok, simple issue but big frustration. Bullet points in Word 2003 are not
behaving. The first bullet point functions perfectly, hit ENTER and it creates a second bullet point... but when you tab in, the text moves, but the bullet point stays locked in the original position. I've reset the bullet gallery info... but how do I get it back to the way it's supposed to function? |

Bullet points not behaving
Without knowing the styles in use it is difficult to say whether Word is
behaving as intended or not. If you want to ensure your document is laid out as you intend, use or create and use bulleted paragraph styles. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Voldemore wrote: Ok, simple issue but big frustration.

One other thing... as of a week ago, everything was working perfectly. Now...
those aren't working. Strangely enough, the "grid lines" on my file and mailing label templates aren't showing up either... but that's in another post. |

Here are two things that might help.
(1) Go to "Format Auto Format Options... AutoCorrect " and change the mark in the box for "Set Left- and First-Indent with tab and backspace. (2) Use "Increase Indent" button instead of tab to move bullet and text right. Jim T. "Voldemore" wrote in message ... One other thing... as of a week ago, everything was working perfectly.

The gridlines issue - table show gridlines. It's a simple toggle setting.

Bullet points not behaving
Thanks for the help guys, but neither worked. Tried the auto correct, tried
the Styles, nothing worked. I ended up doing a repair/restore and that fixed ALL of my issues at once. As a note (I did note this on my other post about the grid lines)... the grid I(and I assume the original poster) are refering to is slightly different than the gridlines in a table. When I did the "show gridlines", I was prompted to do grid lines like in excel... where I can choose top/bottom/etc. Those grid lines help... but they print. The grid lines i'm speaking of appear when doing labels, or on the Avery.com templates that allow you to "see" each individual label's position on the document. Either way... it's fixed. Thanks for the help and thought! All hail Office 2003... Resistance is Futile... but expensively upgradable! "Graham Mayor" wrote: The gridlines issue - table show gridlines.

The configurable grid lines are not gridlines but cell borders! Gridlines
are non-printing. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Voldemore wrote: Thanks for the help guys, but neither worked.

Um, your response didn't help anybody at all and nobody else posted in this thread, your pompous response enraged me so much that i felt the need to create an account and flame you.
IT WAS A SIMPLE QUESTION and you coulnd't even answer it, I've had this problem before but forgot the solution, you as a master word artist should not exactly the keys to press to reset the margins on your bullets. if not wtf are you doing here? ****** Quote:
