You should create an appropriately-formatted Style and use that instead of either the default or a macro.

Sorry for the confusion. I think my major issue is to assign a bullet point to a key. I know the function of FormatBulletDefault but that only allows you to assign the default bullet point. Do you know how to assign other non-default bullets to a hotkey?

JK. I solved the assigning issue. My question now is in my edited post above.
