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

00:00:16.930 --> 00:00:20.040
a lot of bulleted and numbered lists...

00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:24.110
Lists are a great way to present information
to your audience because they break up the

00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:26.820
information into manageable pieces...

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:31.289
We're going to talk about the different ways
that you can customize your bullets or numbers

00:00:31.289 --> 00:00:34.170
to give a distinctive look to your lists...

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:39.010
The first thing you should do is select the
list, and on the Home tab, you'll find the

00:00:39.010 --> 00:00:45.710
Bullets drop-down arrow, which lets you select
a different style...

00:00:45.710 --> 00:00:49.640
And if you would prefer to use a numbered
list, you can click the Numbering drop-down

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.579
arrow.

00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:58.160
Let's say we're using a numbered list, and
maybe this is actually a continuation from

00:00:58.160 --> 00:00:59.949
the previous slide.

00:00:59.949 --> 00:01:05.660
Instead of counting up from one, we might
want it to start with, say, five...

00:01:05.660 --> 00:01:11.570
First, go to the Numbering drop-down arrow...
and then click Bullets and Numbering...

00:01:11.570 --> 00:01:17.970
This is where you'll go whenever you need
to customize your bullets or numbers.

00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:25.289
Where it says "Start At", you can just change
that to a different number... and it will

00:01:25.289 --> 00:01:29.610
now count up from the new number.

00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:38.260
For this list, I want to use bullets, but
none of these choices really match the presentation.

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:42.300
Luckily, there are many more bullets we can
choose from.

00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:44.540
Go down to Bullets and Numbering...

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:49.360
Here, you can either choose a Picture to be
your bullet, or you can click on Customize

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:52.640
to choose a Symbol, and that's what I'm going
to do.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:59.270
I like to use the Wingdings font because it
contains a lot of useful symbols.

00:01:59.270 --> 00:02:04.860
You can use any of these symbols as your bullet,
and I kind of like this one.

00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:11.310
Click OK, and you'll see your symbol appear
in this area...

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:16.590
You can also change the size... or the color.

00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:21.070
You can choose any of these colors, and if
you don't see the exact color you want, you

00:02:21.070 --> 00:02:22.500
can click More Colors...

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:28.700
And when you click OK, the bullets will appear
in your list.

00:02:28.700 --> 00:02:32.970
I think these bullets are much more interesting
now.

00:02:32.970 --> 00:02:37.230
You have many different options for customizing
lists, and you can really tailor them to the

00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:38.780
style of your presentation.
