= SUMMARY =

This article describes one method for creating a default bullet format in Word version 2.0x.

= MORE INFORMATION =

You can modify the Normal template to change the default bullets that Word uses when you choose the Bullets button on the Toolbar or when you choose Bullets And Numbering from the Tools menu. To do this, perform the following steps:

  Open the Normal template, NORMAL.DOT, which is usually located in the C:directory.   From the Tools menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.   Select the Bullets category.   Select the desired bullet character and point size. Note: You cannot change the default setting for Hanging Indent By. This setting will always be 0.25 inch.   Choose the OK button.   A bullet will be applied to the first paragraph in the Normal template. You must remove this formatting or all documents created using the Normal template will automatically have a bullet. Highlight this paragraph.   From the Tools menu, choose Bullets And Numbering.   Choose the Remove button. </li>  Save and close the Normal template. </li></ol>
