Down the bottom, in the Show box, choose 'All Styles'. The Styles and Formatting task pane will pop up. In Word 2002,on the Format menu, choose Styles and Formatting. To ensure that Word displays the List Bullet style so you can select it, do this.
To create bullets or dot point paragraphs, use a style (for example, the List Bullet style).I work in publishing and have hundreds of styles that I have inserted for typesetting purposes. Suggestions? I don't want to lose my Word settings. Every time I hit the 'insert bullets' or 'insert numbered list' buttons on the toolbar, Word crashes. I have Word 2003 running on Windows XP.
