There are a few different ways that you can create a bulleted list in Word. However, one thing you have probably noticed is that there is no keyboard shortcut for creating bulleted lists – unless you create a custom shortcut.

If you prefer using keyboard shortcuts, you can easily create a custom keyboard shortcut using the steps listed below.

1. From the Tools menu, click Customize.
2. Click the Keyboard button. The Customize Keyboard dialog box appears.
3. In the Categories list, choose Formatting.
4. In the Commands list, choose FormatBulletDefault.
5. Click in the Press New Shortcut Key box.
6. Press the keystroke you want to use to apply bullets.
7. Click Assign.
8. Click Close.
9. Click on Close to close the Customize dialog box.

When you press the keystroke you typed in step 6, Word creates a bulleted list. By Pressing the keystrokes again, the bulleted list is removed.
