Bullet Issue

[Maurice]

I copied a section of a resume to another section of the same resume. The
text copied perfectly bu the bullets are bold in relation to the original
section. I tried to highlight the bullet to change from bold to regular with
no change. Not sure how to proceed. Guidance sought

What version of Word are you using?

If you're still using Office 2003 or older, the bullet's characteristics
(such as bold) are carried on the ¶ character at the end of each bulleted
paragraph. Make sure your non-printing characters are showing on screen
(click the ¶ button on your Standard toolbar if they are not). Then select
the ¶ character at the end of the paragraph and turn off bold. The bullet
should change to regular text.

If you're using Office 2007, it'll probably be a similar process, but I'm
not familiar with 2007 yet (thank goodness!).

I hope this helps.

Maurice,

Idaho Word Man has given you a solution to this issue. But note that in the
long run you would be better off using styles to apply bullet formatting,
which gives you more control over the formatting. For more, see
