How Do I Select A Different Type Of Bullet For My Microsoft Word Document?

Click on 'Format' and then click on 'Bullets and Numbering'. A window should appear. There are a selection of bullet styles to choose from. Select the one you want and click 'OK'. If you wish to choose a different style, click on 'Customise' near the bottom of the 'Bullets and Numbering' window.

You can select a bullet character or you can click on 'bullet' to select a symbol to use and you can also change the font. You can also alter the bullet position and the text position and there is a small preview provided on the right of the window.
Whichever style you choose, you will now be able to use the bullet button to insert that particular style of bullet in any document. The bullet button on the toolbar is located next to the numbered bullet button.
