Thank you for the tutorial. I am taking Microsoft Office through Penn Foster and this helps me.

Hey Erin... if I wanted to make a title at the top of the bulleted list and the title and list are inside a "box" or frame, how can I include the title in the box? It wants to kick it out and put it in its own box instead.

I SUBBED AND LIKED THE VIDEO YOU ARE THE BEST

Suppose I am creating a multiple choice quiz with four possible answers (a, b, c, d). How do I keep the question and all of the choices on the same page? How do I prevent Word from separating any portion of the question and possible answers? I want the entire quesion and all answers choices to be on the same page. If it can't fit on the current page, then force Word to move the entire question and possible choices to the next page.

[jaysspot]

Yes this was ok but it did not move how I needed it to… I want a side by side bullet list like . . Is what I need

[Indigoway]

i have a style which is all bullets. Sometimes I want to make a 1, 2, 3, numbered list but when I do it changes all the sub bullets for that style. I there a way to only change that ones I want to numbers without changing the rest of them?

[philipwhichard]

Is there a way to use Google Docs or Google Keep Notes to create bullet lists or any lists using a voice entry method and also do a word search using voice of all my lists?

[mtzrkph]

frustrations! When I add bullets to existing list, it adds it only to the first item! All tutorials say this should work. It just doesn't. How do I bulletize an existing list?

[chrisnunn]

Helpful. I was wondering about different indents for bullet items that go past the usual margins? How to indent these?

[tbryant]

When I change list level from sub bullet to main bullet, it doesn't re-align it all the way back to the left where all of the other main bullet list items are. It on;y goes halfway between the sub-bullets and main bullets. I want to go from some sub bullets, down to a new main bullet item. It doesn't seem possible. Apparently only sub-bullets can end a list, not a main bullet, seems silly.

[evertaekookie]

well, I do know this but the thing is every time I try to add them it basically selects the whole thing and even the title adds up in the list and not just that but if I wanna change the font or alignment it selects the whole I really don't know how to explain but I hope you know what I mean :(
