In the image below, I had previously selected to Insert a NewSymbol to be defined as a NewBullet, and then I have selected the Font button from the DefineNewBullet window. In the Font window we are able to modify the Bullet that we have chosen, such as increasing the size and changing the color of it.

The procedure of creating a BulletList in a MicrosoftWordDocument is a very simple procedure.

In my next post I will describe how to Create a Number List in a Microsoft Word Document.

Word comes with a variety of formatting and layout tools to enable you to get your business documents looking their best and to put across ideas effectively. In the case of bulleted lists, the Bullets icon on the ribbon menu lets you define the bullet style and created nested lists. You can use a symbol, character or picture as a bullet and modify the alignment by selecting 'Define New Bullet' from the Bullet drop-down menu. Bulleted lists -- like any other blocks of text within your Word document -- can then be arranged on the page using the Columns feature.
1.
Launch Word and open the document you wish to work on. Alternatively, select 'Blank Document' to create a new file from scratch.
2.
Word
Click the downward arrow next to the Bullets icon (in the Paragraph section under the Home tab of the ribbon menu) and select your preferred bullet style.
3.
Type out your bulleted list, pressing 'Enter' after each entry. If you want to separate your lists using empty lines or headings, use the Bullets icon to disable and enable the automatic formatting as required.
4.
Select all of the text containing the bulleted list or lists you've created. Open the 'Page Layout' tab, and then click 'Columns.' Choose the number of columns you want to show from the drop-down menu.
5.
Move the cursor to the point where you want your second column to start. Click 'Breaks' and then select 'Column' from the drop-down menu. Repeat the process for any subsequent columns. This tells Word where to start and end each column. Otherwise, it will create breaks automatically based on the flow of your text and the page margins.
