Word 2007 bullet text size wrong
Word 2007
I'm starting with a plain document in which the Normal text is 12 pt. Cambria. (Definitely part of the style definition, not applied with direct-formatting.) When I apply bullets to several paragraphs using the Bullets button, the text changes to 11 pt. I would have thought that the internal List Paragraph format would take the text size from the Normal style. What am I missing? (BTW, this is just a preliminary step to defining a bullet style. I know that it's better to use bullet and number styles than rely on the bullets/numbers applied with the buttons. And I can change the text size when I create the styles, but I am curious why I have to. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.) Thanks, liz |

Word 2007 bullet text size wrong
Do this to change the default font (as well as other character and paragraph
settings) in Word 2007: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click the Manage Styles button. Click the Set Defaults tab. Make the desired changes. If you want to transfer the settings to the attached template (normal.dotm if you are editing a blank document), click "New documents based on this template" before clicking OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Elizabeth Swoope" wrote in message ...

Stefan,
Thank you for that little tidbit! That was exactly what I needed. liz "Stefan Blom" wrote: Do this to change the default font (as well as other character and paragraph settings) in Word 2007: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S.

Word 2007 bullet text size wrong
Hi Stefan
I am trying to update my bullets so that they are not the round ones but square coloured ones. For the life of me, I cannot get this to work. I create the bullet as required and then go into the styles manager and click on "update normal to match selection" under the normal font. But when I create a new bullet, its a round one again. Any ideas? "Stefan Blom" wrote: I'm glad I could help! -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Elizabeth Swoope" wrote in message ... Stefan, Thank you for that little tidbit!
