To get bullets that are different from the ones that are
on default settings in Microsoft Word follow these steps:
Click [Format] then [Bullets and Numbering]
Click on the tab that says [Bulleted' then click [Customize]
A new dialog box pops up called [Customize Bulleted List]
Now click [Character] and a Symbol box appears
In the font drop-down menu, you will find a listing of fonts on
your computer. Chose the font you wish to explore. You will
find some excellent bullets in the Wingdings and Webdings Font.
To find a specific bullet (for example the computer bullet that is
used on your handout) you should scroll through the symbols and
click the one you want. If you want to enlarge the symbol so that
you can see it more clearly, just click and hold down the mouse
button. Once you have chosen the bullet you would like, then click
[OK] and [OK] again.
You should now have the bullet you chose.
