We have specific guidelines for creating documents in our organization. One of the specifications is the use of bullets in a document.



In MS Word 2007, I need to know how to change the default bullet used by Word for each level of indentation.

By default, the bullets used by MS Word are at the first level is a black dot, second level is a circle, third level is a filled square, etc. The first can remain a black dot, but the second needs to be an empty square, third level a dash.

I can make a style for each of these, but indenting the text later will not apply my next level of bullet. (at least I don't know how to)

Also, I would like to change the default levels of indentation provided by MS Word.

Each level, by default, is .25" from the previous level. Can this be changed to .2", or .15"?

Thanks

You will have to set up a multilevel list using styles in Word. See http://shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/...s20072010.html.

You may also want to take a look at http://shaunakelly.com/word/numberin...g20072010.html. The article uses the built-in headings as an example, but you should not do that, of course.
