WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:07.899 --> 00:00:13.519 As you can see, on this 4th slide, I have an image on the left and a content placeholder 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:19.130 on the right. In this placeholder, I can insert text, a 00:00:19.130 --> 00:00:25.750 table, a chart, a picture, or another clip art like this one. 00:00:25.750 --> 00:00:30.539 You can see that a bullet appears by default in this type of placeholder in this slide 00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:34.739 layout. I do want to enter a list of steps for the 00:00:34.739 --> 00:00:40.519 team exercise, so I'll just place the insertion point in the placeholder and type the first 00:00:40.519 --> 00:00:46.470 step in the exercise. Now, press Enter on your keyboard and type 00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:53.470 the next step. As I pressed Enter, the new bullet appeared 00:00:55.839 --> 00:01:02.839 so I could type the next step in my list. And we'll do the same thing again. 00:01:10.009 --> 00:01:17.009 The bullet that is used is a default bullet that is defined by the theme of your presentation. 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.720 We are using the Urban theme so this is the default bullet for Urban. 00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.610 But, what if you don't like the bullet defined by the theme? Don't worry! You're not stuck 00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:33.690 with it. You can easily change the bullet style so 00:01:33.690 --> 00:01:38.820 a specific bullet will always appear on this slide. 00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:45.820 Simply select the bulleted list and text. On the Home tab, you'll notice the Bullets 00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:52.140 command in the Paragraph group is highlighted. This just shows you that the text you have 00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:57.320 selected is a bulleted list. You can click the command to toggle the bulleted 00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:04.140 list off and on. To change the bullet style, select the drop-down 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:10.780 arrow next to the Bullets command. We can see several bullet styles, and the 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:16.849 one that is currently being used is selected. As you hover over each, a Live Preview of 00:02:16.849 --> 00:02:23.849 the bullet style is displayed on the slide. If you see one that you like, simply left-click 00:02:24.290 --> 00:02:30.400 it and the new bullet will appear in the list. But, what if you don't like any of those bullet 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.400 choices or want to change the color or size of the current bullet? Just make sure your 00:02:37.529 --> 00:02:43.959 text is still selected and then select the drop-down arrow next to the Bullets command 00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:47.989 again. At the bottom of the menu, select Bullets 00:02:47.989 --> 00:02:51.439 and Numbering. A dialog box appears. 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:58.049 At the top you have two tabs, bulleted and numbered which you can choose between. 00:02:58.049 --> 00:03:05.049 From here, you can do several different things. You can switch to a different bullet style, 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:11.859 choose to display no bullets, or change the color of the existing bullet. 00:03:11.859 --> 00:03:16.540 You can even change the size of the bullet if you want it to appear larger or smaller 00:03:16.540 --> 00:03:20.549 than the text. If you click the Picture button, the Picture 00:03:20.549 --> 00:03:26.069 Bullet dialog box appears. From here, you can choose from many picture 00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:33.069 bullets that are used in the Office 2007 templates. There are some simple ones and some interesting 00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:37.590 ones. You can even import your own pictures. 00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:42.269 Once you have one you like, just click OK to insert the bullet. 00:03:42.269 --> 00:03:46.199 I don't want to use a picture, so we'll just click Cancel. 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.049 If you click the Customize button, the Symbol dialog box appears. 00:03:51.049 --> 00:03:56.090 We can use the scrollbar to scroll through these choices, or the font drop-down menu 00:03:56.090 --> 00:04:00.730 to choose another set to view. There are some good bullet options in the 00:04:00.730 --> 00:04:07.730 Wingdings section so I'm going to select that. Ooh, look at all these new choices. 00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:15.900 Here, I think I like this arrow. And click OK in the Symbol dialog box. 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:20.650 The arrow symbol now appears in the list of possible bullet choices. 00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:26.340 Hmmm, I like the arrow, but I think this open circle may look nice. 00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:30.979 I'll just select it and then click OK to apply it to my slide. 00:04:30.979 --> 00:04:35.720 But what if I decide I want to change a bulleted list to a numbered list, or add a numbered 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:42.720 list from scratch? Just select the text. And click the drop-down arrow next to the 00:04:42.810 --> 00:04:48.879 Numbering command on the Home tab. I can choose one of the options from the menu 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:55.569 or choose Bullets and Numbering at the bottom. We'll just select that, and open the Bullets 00:04:55.569 --> 00:05:01.759 and Numbering dialog box. From here, you can select any of the options, 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.879 and change the size and color of the numbers. You can also determine the number that you 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:12.759 want to use to start the list. I think this one is simple, and a numbered 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:18.860 list will work on this slide since these are steps the teams have to take. 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:24.520 There, that looks good. Now, before we wrap up, let's take a look 00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:29.300 at the other slides. By default, a bullet was in the placeholder 00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:35.090 when we inserted our text on slide 3. But I don't really need a bullet here because 00:05:35.090 --> 00:05:39.620 I don't have a list. To remove the bullet, all you need to do is 00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:46.620 select the text and click the Bullets command. There, that looks good. 00:05:47.810 --> 00:05:52.039 Bulleted and Numbered lists are used often in presentations because they are a great 00:05:52.039 --> 00:05:59.039 way to take a paragraph of text and make it easier to read especially on slides for a 00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.990 presentation. Lists are much easier for your audience to 00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:07.060 read. Spend some time trying the bullets and numbering 00:06:07.060 --> 00:06:12.289 commands to see how they work. I'm going to continue working on and formatting 00:06:12.289 --> 00:06:15.770 my presentation. And don't worry, we'll fix those spelling 00:06:15.770 --> 00:06:16.639 mistakes later!
