Change bullet indents

Changing the position of the bullets in a list, or the spacing between the bullets and text involves fine-tuning the bullet indents. Here's how:

1. Select the bullets in the list by clicking a bullet. The text won't appear selected.

1. Right-click, and then click Adjust List Indents.

2. Change the distance of the bullet indent from the margin by clicking the arrows in the Number position: box, or change the distance between the bullet and the text by clicking the arrows in the Text indent: box.

1. Click OK.

Change the indent for one bullet

1. Click next to the text for the bullet you want to change.

2. Click Home > Paragraph > Bullets > Change List Level

3. Click the level where you want the bullet. Each level has a different bullet style.

   Tip: If you don't care what the bullet looks like and all you want to do is change the position of a single bullet, click next to the text of the bullet, and then click Home>Paragraph>Increase indent and Decrease indent.
