MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / October 2003Automatic Bulleted Lists not working
In Word 2002, I have the Automatic bulleted lists checked on in the AutoCorrect options. However, after a hard return on a bulleted item, Word is not creating a new bullet. I have to manually click the Bullet button to get the new bullet to display. Any ideas? Hi Tim, My best guess is that that Word Perfect options may be activated in Tools/Options/General? > In Word 2002, I have the Automatic bulleted lists checked > on in the AutoCorrect options.

I checked and the WordPerfect options are turned off. Thanks for the help, though.

The other possibility would be if the style being applied to your bullet has a non-bulleted style set as the "following style". Disply the Styles and Formatting taskpane. Make sure the cursor is in the bulleted line. Hover the mouse over the box at the top, with the "preview" of your text in that style until an arrow appears at the right of the box. Click this arrow and choose "Modify". Is the entry for "Style for following paragraph" different than the style name? If it is, you can change it to the style name.

And then even if I change the "Style for following paragraph" to a bulleted style, the problem still occurs. The weird thing is that some of my bulleted lists do work correctly (i.e. after a hard return, a new bullet is automatically created), others do not. But I don't see any difference in the formatting between the two. Tim >-----Original Message----- >> I checked and the WordPerfect options are [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >. Your best bet is to avoid "List styles" and set up an outline numbered list using the instructions at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html -- Suzanne S.

Hi Tim Suzanne's suggestion might work for you; personally, I have no problems with List styles. But in this case, I'm not sure the other method would make any difference... Even when you use a List style, "underlying" that is a paragraph style, for example Heading 1, or maybe a user-defined style. Do you know which PARAGRAPH style has been applied to one of these problem areas? And can you check the "Following paragraph style" for that? (Hint: display the Reveal Formatting task pane and activate the check box Distinguish Style Source at the bottom. you should see the style name, then.) > When I click on the "Modify Style" option, "Style for > following paragraph" is not an option UNLESS I change [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > automatically created), others do not.
