Tips & Warnings

  • To create a secondary bullet, press the Tab key at the beginning of the line. Press the Tab key again to create a tertiary bullet.
  • The first word of each line is automatically capitalized.
  • For professional slide copy, make sure your bulleted statements are parallel in structure - that is, they're all complete sentences or all noun phrases or all gerund phrases and so on. Make sure your readers can identify what your bulleted list is a list of. Is it a list of company goals? A list of current successes? Don't mix apples and oranges in one list.
