![]() ![]() Feb 08, 2008 For some reason my MS Word 2003 does not tab-in a sub-bullet point when I press the tab key on a bullet point which is below another bullet point. Word's built-in bullet points can give boring reports a bit of bling, but you can do even more by creating custom bullets from an image file. I have a Master Template in Word which contains my full set of styles. Sometimes I apply another template over the top of my Master Template that only contains styles that have different formatting to the style of the same name in the Master Template. ![]() If I have a document that has text styled with my custom 'Bullet' style from my Normal Template, when I apply my secondary template over the top, the formatting of my bullet changes, even though the bullet style doesn't exist in the secondary template. The formatting of the bullets should remain the same as the style is inherited from the Master Template, but instead it is being updated by the secondary template. Do Word templates have some built in bullet formatting that could be overriding my bullet style? How can I prevent this from happening? ![]() So there you are: a Paragraph style controls the font and leading and spacing, the List Template controls the bullets and numbering. If you go to Format>Style>Modify>Format>Numbering>Outline Numbering, you can set an association between each level in the list and its corresponding paragraph style. Note the path I took to get in there. There are several ways to get to a dialog that looks like this one, but unless you begin Format>STYLE>Modify. You won't get where you need to be and it won't work. Ignore the tabs labelled 'Bulleted' and 'Numbered': they are anachronistic compatibility options that really should not be there. Applies To: Word 2016 for Mac You can create a new bullet style for a list by changing the bullets to symbols or pictures, or by changing the font size and alignment of the bullets. Once you customize them, you can save those settings as a style and use it again and again. Create a bullet style using symbols • Select the text or bulleted list for which you want to create a bullet style using symbols. • On the Home tab, click the arrow next to Bullets, and then click Define New Bullet. • Click Bullet, and then click the symbol you want to use in the Symbol dialog box. • Click OK, and then click OK again to save the bullet style. Create a picture bullet style • Select the text or bulleted list for which you want to create a new picture bullet style.
