You probably already how to make a numbered or bulleted list in PowerPoint: Click the Numbering or Bullets button and start typing. Each time you press Enter, a new bullet or number appears. To make a list out of text you've already entered, select the text and click the Numbering or Bullets button.
So much for conventional numbers and bullets. You'll be glad to know that PowerPoint permits you to toy with bullets and numbers to create lists like the ones in Figure 1. To create an out-of-the-ordinary list, select the list if you've already entered it and choose Format --> Bullets and Numbering. In the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, go to the Bulleted or Numbered tab to beautify your list.
Choose from the following selections
- Bulleted list: Choose a bullet on the Bulleted tab. If the choices don't suit you, click the Picture button to open the Picture Bullet dialog box and select small clip-art bullets; or click the Customize button to open the Symbol dialog box and select a symbol for the bullets.
- Numbered list: On the Numbered tab, choose letters, Roman numerals, or another numbering scheme (notice the Roman numerals in Figure 1). Enter a number in the Start At box to resume numbering a list that starts on one slide and continues on another.
- Changing the size of bullets and numbers: Enter a percentage in the Size % of Text box to change the size of bullets or numbers relative to the text in the list. Entering 200, for example, makes bullets twice as big as the text.
- Changing the color of bullets and numbers: Open the Color drop-down menu and select a color.
