Bulleting a List
To Create a Bulleted List:
1) Click the Bullets button on the Formatting toolbar
2) Notice your cursor is indented and a bullet now appears
3) Type the following text, pressing Enter after each entry
Clean [Enter]
Shop [Enter]
Pack [Enter]
Pay Bills [Enter]
When working in a bulleted/numbered list, there will be times that you want to create space
between items in the bulleted list.
This creates what we call a soft return. It tells Microsoft Word to end the line but not the
paragraph, thus not issuing a bullet.
