I have a list I want to format in bullet form. So I highlight the list and click on the bullet icon. When I do, the line above it (which I didn't highlight) indents as well. It is behaving as if the two lines are connected. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks so much.

Hi Alamorchgirl,

Are you sure they're separate paragrahs, and not just different lines within the same paragraph? Triple-clicking on some text will select the entire paragraph containing it. If there's more than you expect selected, that means it all one paragraph. Additionally, clicking on the ¶ symbol on the Ribbon's Home tab will reveal the document's formatting. If the lines you're concerned with are not terminated by a ¶ symbol, they're not separate paragraphs.
