Problem with bullets in Word 2007
I'm having a problem with bullets in Word 2007 that is driving me insane. I
have two items in a list and I just want each one to be preceded by a bullet. However, Word insists on inserting a third bullet at the beginning of one of the lines, even though it is not a new paragraph; it's just the text that ran over from the previous line. Here is a link to an image that shows what I'm talking about: tinypic.com/view.php?pic=98c5yp&s=4. The problem is that there is a bullet in front of "Dig". But "Dig" is just another in a series of terms separated by commas. It's not a new paragraph, so it should appear without a bullet like the line above it ("to verify functionality..."). Thanks in advance for any help. |

I cannot see from the screen shot what is causing the problem, but if you
want to send me a copy of the document, I will take a look at it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Are you sure there is not a paragraph break at the end of each line? Display
nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*) to check. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "johnnyb10" wrote in message ...

There is no paragraph break at the end of the line. I included a URL in my
original post that shows a screenshot with nonprinting characters turned on. Thanks anyway. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you sure there is not a paragraph break at the end of each line?

I would have looked at your picture if the URL had been clickable. If I
paste it into my browser I get a page that offers to sell me things. I had about given up before I found your actual picture, which I find ambiguous. -- Suzanne S.
