Help working with bulleted lists

[SarahMP1]

I am an Info Path novice and all i am trying to use it for is to create a
simple status report form that i can publish to my Sharepoint site for team
members to fill out. Once they have filled it out, all i want to do is merge
them into one document, so i am not connecting the information to any
databases.

I have created a form from scratch because the Status Report template that
comes with InfoPath assumes that you will link it to a database and thus the
data source is all funky. I am trying to insert a bulleted list, which i can
do just fine, but it only lets you enter ONE bullet! I want to set it so the
person can hit tab and go to enter the next bullet. The only way i've found
to do this is to keep entering the Bulleted List control over and over in the
section. Does anyone know how to make it so you only enter one Bulleted List
control in each section but when the user fills out the form, it lets them
enter as many bullet points as they want in that section?

Sarah,
While you are in the designer, the bulleted list control only shows one
bullet by default. This is bound to a repeating field so that when a user
goes to enter multiple items into the list, new fields will be created to
hold them. When you go into preview mode, you will see that hitting enter
makes another bullet appear below the original one, much like bulleted lists
behave in Word.
I'm afraid there's no way to change the number of bullets available by
default, but the user can make the list as long as he/she wants by just
hitting enter.
Hope this helps,
Bojana
