You can easily create a bulleted list in your document by clicking the Bullets button on the toolbar. Word will automatically insert the bullets into your document. By default, the bullets are a predefined character (small, round, black dots). However, you can customize Word to use any character you want for your bulleted lists. Here is what you need to do:

1. Within Word, click Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu.

2. Click the Bullets tab.
3. From the available styles, select one you want to use.
4. Click the Customize button if you do not like the available styles.
5. Use the Font, Character, and Picture buttons to customize the bullets.
6. Click OK when you have selected the symbol you want to use. The Customize Bulleted List dialog box appears.
7. Click Ok to close the dialog box.
