Bulleting

[RickB]

I have found how you you can set the font attributes for
bulleting but can you have the text that follows the
bulleting inherit the font attributes of the bullets?

ie:

1) - bullet is green text and 18pt any text that follows
this bullet will be green and 18pt.
1.1 - bullet is blue text and 10pt any text that follows
this bullet will be blue and 10pt.

Is this handled with styles?

Hi Rick

Yes, you control this using styles.

For example, use the built-in styles List Bullet, List Bullet 2 etc. They will give you bullets (eg dots, circles, whatever).

If you want your "bullets" to be numbers like 1) and 1.1, then you could use the built-in Heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2 etc).
Or, you could use the List Number, List Number 2 styles. For info on how to set up this kind of numbering, see
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. That page talks about heading numbering, but the principles also
apply to using the List Number, List Number 2 styles.

Hope this helps.

I have it so the text matches the bullets, but now when I
hit enter at the end of one of the lines it doesn't
bullet anymore.

Hi Rick

If you have a paragraph in style x, then when you press Enter, Word automatically puts the next paragraph into what ever style you
have nominated in your definition of style x.

Format > Styles > Modify and set the Style for the following paragraph. (Or in Word 2002, Format > Styles and Formatting.
Right-click the style name, Modify and set the Style for following paragraph.)

Hope this helps.
