SYMPTOMS
If you select one item in a numbered list and change its format to bulleted, only the selected item is changed. The list items not selected remain numbered.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because bulleted items in numbered lists are common. Therefore, the numbered list format is not programmed to change when one item is bulleted.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
 * 1) Highlight the entire numbered list.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering.
 * 3) Click the Bulleted tab, and then select the bullet style that you want to use.
 * 4) Click OK.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
