Bullets

A bulleted list, is almost the same as a numbered list.

 

Just click the “Bullets” button under the “Home” tab in the ribbon.

Pressing the Enter key on your keyboard displays the bullets.

Press the Enter key twice, to remove the bullet.

Another way to install bullets and numbering is to select all your paragraphs, and click on the “Bullets” or “Numbering” button.

You can only place a bullet or numbering for a paragraph.

To remove bullets from one or all paragraphs, select the paragraph (s), and click on the “Bullet” icon, again.

 

To view the various bulleted lists, click the downward pointing arrow next to the bulleted list button.

This opens a list of different types of bullets.

Even this list has the “Live preview” option.

 

Customizing the numbers and bullets list

To fit the numbering or bullets into the list, first select the list, and then click the arrow button next to the numbering or bullet button.

Select “Define New Bullet” or “Define New Number Format” from the menu.

 

In both cases, this opens a dialog box, where we can customize our numbers and bullet lists.

For the bullets, it is slightly more extensive than for the numbering.

Click the “OK” button when you’re done.

 

Customizing headers and footers

We have already seen how a header and footer is created through building blocks.

In this section, I will explain how you can create one, yourself.

Select the “Insert” tab on the ribbon, and click the “Header” button.

Select the “Edit Header” option at the bottom of the list.

This opens an additional tab, “Design”.

Here, we find a number of options.

We can add a page number, date, pictures and other enhancements.

We also have the option of making the header of the first page, different from the rest of the pages.

We can also have different headers on even pages and odd pages.

You can set the distance of the header from the edge of your page.

 

The same thing applies to footers.

 

To display the footer or header, return to Print Layout view and, double click anywhere in the document.

 

Adding Page Numbers:

If you wish only to add a page number in your document, without a header or footer, click the “Page Number” button under the “Insert” tab on the ribbon.

Clicking this button gives us some options to choose from.

These are the options that will be displayed in the list, “Top of the page”, “Bottom of the page”, “Page margins”, “Current position”, etc.

This position is set depending on where your cursor was in your document, at that particular time.

 

When you make a selection here, the contextual tab “Design”, will open, again.

If you wish to number the first page of your document, click the “Page Number” button and select “Format Page Numbers …” from the menu.

This opens the “Page Number Format” dialog box.

Give the page where you want to start numbering.

You can also set the layout of the chapter with numbers in this dialog box.

 

Click OK when you’re done.
