How to Format Bullet Points on Microsoft Word
A Microsoft Word document may start out by default as one big paragraph of text on a page, but breaking up that paragraph is quick and simple using the "Bullets" button found in the "Paragraph" section of the "Home" tab's ribbon. Word's bullets take on a default appearance, solid and round. Whether you're starting a new project with bullets or editing an already bulleted one, format bullets' appearance at any time using Word.
