Default Delete a row of text with one click


I currently have a report template I utilize daily on MS Word. I have about 15 bullet points in my report. I typically delete several of these bullet points depending on a set of factors unique to my case. I delete them by highlighting them and clicking backspace. However, I can move much quicker if there was a way to simply delete the given bullet point with one click. Is there a way to set this up on a table or form where it will completely delete the row (or bullet point) of text with a single click? Attached is an example. Thank you.

You can make use of a macro such as the following:

Code:
Sub DeleteCurrentBulletItem()
On Error GoTo errhandler
If Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.ListFormat.ListTemplate Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Delete
errhandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub
You can attach the macro to a button on the Quick Access Toolbar and/or to a keyboard shortcut.
