How to change default bullet & indentation setting?
I'm trying to change the default setting for bullets and indentation on MS
Word 2002 for a new document. I've created a style template for what I want, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it the default setting. I want to be able to use different bullets with different indentations and have them change when I use the Tab key. Can you help me or do you know of a resource I can go to for this? -- Dwain |

I want to be able to use different bullets with different indentations and have them change when I use the Tab key. Best thing would be to forget about the bullets & numbering button. Setup a hierarchy of bulleted styles (all based on your default bodytext style) in an outline hierarchy according to the following articles: See the section on "Numbering, bullets, Headings, Outlines" (by Shauna Kelly) http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/ If you have three styles (say, list bullet, list bullet 2, list bullet 3) all part of an outline (meaning: you setup the bullet/first line indent through the bullets & numbering definition of "list bullet" for *all 3* styles in one go), you should be fine (and able to tab from one to the other). For more on the same subject, see: How to restart style-based numbering (by Margaret Aldis) http://word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/...artMethods.htm Word's numbering explained (by John McGhie) http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Numbering/...gExplained.htm HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
