00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:13.380
As you create more and more PowerPoint presentations,
you're probably going to find yourself using

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:16.360
a lot of bulleted and numbered lists…

00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:19.840
Lists are a great way to present information
to your audience because they break up the

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:22.700
information into manageable pieces…

00:00:22.700 --> 00:00:25.980
We're going to talk about the different ways
that you can customize your bullets or numbers

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:28.770
to give a distinctive look to your lists...

00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:33.850
The first thing you should do is select the
list…and on the Home tab, you'll find the

00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:39.250
Bullets drop-down arrow, which lets you select
a different style...

00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:42.809
And if you would prefer to use a numbered
list, you can click the Numbering drop-down

00:00:42.809 --> 00:00:45.989
arrow.

00:00:45.989 --> 00:00:50.170
Let's say we're using a numbered list, and
maybe this list is actually a continuation

00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:52.089
from the previous slide.

00:00:52.089 --> 00:00:56.710
Instead of counting up from one, we might
want it to start with, say, five...

00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:03.539
First, go to the Numbering drop-down arrow…
and then click Bullets and Numbering…

00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:07.750
This is where you'll go whenever you need
to customize your bullets or numbers.

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:14.860
Where it says "Start At", you can just change
that to a different number... and it will

00:01:14.860 --> 00:01:17.430
now count up from the new number.

00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:22.460
For this list, I want to use bullets, but
none of these choices really match the presentation.

00:01:22.460 --> 00:01:26.020
Luckily, there are many more bullets we can
choose from.

00:01:26.020 --> 00:01:28.440
Go down to Bullets and Numbering...

00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:33.810
Here, you can either choose a Picture to be
your bullet, or you can click on Customize

00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:37.640
to choose a Symbol, and that's what I'm going
to do.

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.930
You can use any of these symbols as your bullet,
and I kind of like this.

00:01:43.930 --> 00:01:48.700
Click OK, and you'll see your symbol appear
in this area...

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:54.259
You can also change the size… or the color.

00:01:54.259 --> 00:01:58.340
You can choose any of these colors, and if
you don't see the exact color you want, you

00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:01.100
can click More Colors…

00:02:01.100 --> 00:02:05.469
And when you click OK, the bullets will appear
in your list.

00:02:05.469 --> 00:02:09.080
I think these bullets are much more interesting
now.

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.190
You have many different options for customizing
lists, and you can really tailor them to the

00:02:13.190 --> 00:02:14.860
style of your presentation.
