Word provides several preset number and bullet styles you can apply to a list. If none of the predefined bullet or numbering schemes meet your needs, customize a bulleted or numbered list style.

To customize a numbered list style, you can display text or characters both before and after a number as well as choose a different number style. Scale numbers as desired and modify their position and the spacing between them, as well as add kerning. In addition, you can start numbering at a number other than 1 (the default setting).

To customize a bulleted list style, change the bullet shape by changing the symbol or using an image instead.

Many formatting options apply to both bullets and numbers. Align bullets or numbers to the left, right, or center of a specified mark on the horizontal ruler, as well as align the text to a specified mark on the horizontal ruler. In addition, change the amount of indent between the margin and the bullet or number, as well as the distance between the bullet or number and the text.

Format numbers or bullets with any available font and font style, as well as size them as desired. Select from a variety of colors, underline styles, and effects. You can also change the spacing between the margin, the bullet or number, and the text.

After you have used or customized a numbered or bulleted list style, Word makes that style available in the corresponding gallery under Recently Used Number Formats , or Recently Used Bullets and in the associated Library . Select he style from the gallery if you want to apply bulleting or numbering elsewhere in the document.

If, however, you want to change the formatting of a list from a customized style back to one of the standard styles, you only need to apply the new desired style to the list.
