Abnormal Bullet Points Word 2003 SP3

[jonnymcv1]

When combinining a paragraph, followed immediately on the next line down with
a bulleted list, every single line of text is given a bullet point. It is
not until I hit Ctrl+Z that the line I wanted to bullet is bulleted. I'm
using Word 2003 SP3. This problem is extremely frustrating seeing as I write
several reports each week, most demanding the use of bulleted lists.

Sorry to inform you, you have landed in the Office > Word > Macintosh
Newsgroup.

Although many of the MVP's work multiple groups, you may get quicker
answers in The Office PC groups.

However; don't feel disheartened someone may give you an answer anyway
if they can.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

Sorry for not being able to get back to you sooner but there was a server
problem:-( However, Phillip is right - this is a Mac group so future posts
should go into one of the Windows Communities. You'll find them here:

In the meanwhile you should find the solution to your current problem here:

Hi Jonny,
Did I get it OK?
You write a line push the bullet button and no bullet is visible till
you press CTRL+Z?
There might be several things to check, but I have too little
information from you, I will put my guesses here as I'm going abroad,
so you can pick to most appropriate meanwhile without my assistence:

1. My first guess is that that particular level of bullet does not
have any mark associated. navigate to Format>bullets and numbering>and
look at the outline number whether each level has any mark associated.

2. How do you go to next line in bullets? by Enter or CTRL+Enter? CTRL
+Enter breaks the line manually - it's still counted as 1 line
although there are 2 lines, so the next line will not have any mark at
the beginning

3. I have misunderstand your explanation and you are rather looking
for this:

Hope this helps a little bit
