Goodwill Community Foundation creating
opportunities for a better life as you
create more and more PowerPoint
presentations you're probably going to
find yourself using a lot of bulleted
and numbered lists lists are a great way
to present information to your audience
because they break up the information
into manageable pieces we are going to
talk about the different ways that you
can customize your bullets or numbers to
give a distinctive look to your lists
the first thing you should do is select
the list and on the Home tab you'll find
the bullets drop down arrow which lets
you select a different style
and if you would prefer to use a
numbered list you can click the
numbering drop-down arrow let's say
we're using a numbered list and maybe
this is actually a continuation from the
previous slide instead of counting up
from one we might want it to start with
say five first go to the numbering
drop-down arrow and then click bullets
and numbering
this is where you'll go whenever you
need to customize your bullets or
numbers where it says start at you can
just change that to a different number
and it will now count up from the new
number
for this list I want to use bullets but
none of these choices really match the
presentation luckily there are many more
bullets we can choose from go down to
bullets and numbering here you can
either choose a picture to be your
bullet or you can click on customize to
choose a symbol and that's what I'm
going to do I like to use the wing-dings
font because it contains a lot of useful
symbols
you can use any of these symbols as your
bullet
I kind of like this one click OK and
you'll see your symbol appear in this
area you can also change the size
or the color you can choose any of these
colors and if you don't see the exact
color you want you can click more colors
and when you click OK the bullets will
appear in your list
I think these bullets are much more
interesting now you have many different
options for customizing lists and you
can really tailor them to fit the style
of your presentation
