SOFTWARE TIP OF THE WEEK
Microsoft Word 2003/2007: Fix Inconsistent Numbered or Bulleted Lists
You select some text, click the bullets button, and?Drat! One of your bullets is larger, smaller, bolder or otherwise mismatched from the others. How frustrating!
Well, here?s the cause: The format of a bullet or a list number is determined by the format of a hidden paragraph marker created at the end of each paragraph, whenever you click the Enter key.
To ensure that all of your lists match:
1. Display paragraph markers (and all hidden formatting marks) by clicking the Show/Hide button (it looks like a backward ?P?). In Word 2003, the Show/Hide button is on the Standard toolbar. In Word 2007, the Show/Hide button is on the Home tab in the Paragraph group.
2. Ensure that the paragraph markers of all items in your list are selected when you apply the bullet or numbering formatting.
3. If you want to hide your paragraph markers, click again on the Show/Hide button.
4. Smile!
