Can i format bullets on the same slide with different hanging indent?

[THOMAS CONLON]

I am using the most std slide template, a title followed by bullet points.
From the first, i want to remove the bullet, and have it be two
left-justified lines of text wiht no bullet (not hanging indent). Then,
that will be followed by bullets, desired to have the standard, default
hanging indent format.

So, i went to the bullet icon and clicked it, to eliminate the bullet from
the first point. Fine! Then, i selected just the text from that first
item, the one now without a bullet, and went to the ruler, and start
dragging the hanging indent icon. But, it affects all the bullets. I
cannot get this first point to have a different hanging indent from the rest
of the bullets.

Why is the format change i make with the ruler, applied to everything, when
i have only selected one item?

Is it possible to accomplish this? That is, to isolate just one bullet, and
change its hanging indent to be different from the rest of the bullets? If
so, i hope you can describe it as a reply to this post.

Thank you! Tom

Set up the first "paragraph" as you mentioned -- remove the bullet and drag
the indent markers so there's no indent.

Then demote the 2nd and subesqent lines (the ones you want to have the
bullet) so they are 2nd level "paragraphs."

Then press Ctrl and drag the indent marker for the 2nd level so it overlaps
the first indent marker.

You can adjust the size of the 2nd level bullet text either manually or on
the slide master to make it the same size as the first level.
