As you create more and more PowerPoint presentations,
you're probably going to find yourself using

00:00:15.910 --> 00:00:19.210
a lot of bulleted and numbered lists.

00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:21.269
Lists are a great way to present information
to

00:00:21.269 --> 00:00:22.239
your audience

00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.470
because they break up the
information into manageable pieces.

00:00:26.470 --> 00:00:28.159
We're going to talk about the different ways
that

00:00:28.159 --> 00:00:30.310
you can customize your bullets or numbers

00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:34.000
to give a distinctive look to your lists.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.399
The first thing you should do is select the
list,

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:38.370
and on the Home tab,

00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:45.370
you'll find the Bullets drop-down arrow, which
lets you select a different style.

00:00:46.089 --> 00:00:48.339
And if you prefer to use a numbered list,
you can

00:00:48.339 --> 00:00:54.530
click the Numbering drop-down arrow.

00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:57.140
Now let's say we're using a numbered list,

00:00:57.140 --> 00:01:01.559
and maybe this list is actually a continuation
from the previous slide.

00:01:01.559 --> 00:01:03.579
Instead of counting up from one, we might
want it

00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:06.260
to start with, say, five.

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:09.260
First, go to the Numbering drop-down arrow,
and

00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:13.320
then click Bullets and Numbering.

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:17.120
This is where you'll go whenever you need
to

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.740
customize your bullets or numbers.

00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:23.350
Where it says "Start At", you can just change
that

00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:27.300
to a different number,

00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:29.850
and it will now count up
from the new number.

00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:34.640
For this list, I do want to use bullets, but
none

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.250
of these choices really match the presentation.

00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:40.250
Luckily, there are many more bullets we can
choose

00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:41.720
from.

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:45.530
Go down to Bullets and Numbering.

00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:49.670
Here, you can either choose a Picture to be
your

00:01:49.670 --> 00:01:50.400
bullet,

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:55.750
or you can click on Customize to choose a
Symbol, and that's what I'm going to do.

00:01:55.750 --> 00:02:02.750
I like to use the Wingdings font because it
contains a lot of useful symbols.

00:02:04.130 --> 00:02:06.880
You can pick any of these symbols to be your
bullet.

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:13.670
I kind of like this one.

00:02:13.670 --> 00:02:16.280
Click OK, and you'll see your symbol appear
in

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.010
this area.

00:02:19.010 --> 00:02:23.390
You can also change the size

00:02:23.390 --> 00:02:27.840
or the color.

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.620
You can choose any of these colors, and if
you

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:31.890
don't see the exact color you want,

00:02:31.890 --> 00:02:38.890
you can click More Colors.

00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:42.250
And when you click OK, the bullets will appear
in

00:02:42.250 --> 00:02:43.340
your list.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:48.740
I think these bullets are much more interesting
now.

00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:51.930
So you have many different options for customizing
lists,

00:02:51.930 --> 00:02:58.930
and you can really tailor them to the style
of your presentation.
