How to Change the Colors of List Bullets
If you have created a Microsoft Word document with sections of text that have been bulleted, you may want to add color and emphasis to the bullets as a way to draw attention to your document's most important information. By default, the bullets in Microsoft Word documents are black. However, you can change the color of the bullets to a wide variety of hues--such as red, blue, green, purple and gray--with a few quick clicks on your Word document's toolbar. Experiment with different colors to determine which hues look best in your overall document presentation.
