I've been working with the origin resume
template and have replaced the
placeholder text with my own text as you
can see the template has included a
bulleted list under the education and
skills section in templates lists are
especially easy because the bullet has
been predefined by the template but what
if you don't like the bullet included
with the templates don't worry you're
not stuck with it
bullets are easy to change and add to a
document simply select the bulleted list
and text on the Home tab select the drop
down arrow next to the bullets command
now we can see recently used bullets and
some bullets from the bullet library if
you see one that you like simply
left-click it and the new bullet will
appear in the list but what if you don't
like any of those bullet choices make
sure your text is still selected and
then select the drop down arrow next to
the bullets command again at the bottom
of the menu select define new bullets
the define new bullet dialog box appears
now we can select from symbols or
pictures on our computer and even change
the fonts or formatting of the image a
picture doesn't seem quite right for a
resume so let's take a look at our
symbols by clicking the symbol button
the symbol dialog box appears
we can use a scroll bar to scroll
through these choices or the font
drop-down menu to choose another set to
view I think I remember seeing some good
bullet options in the wingding section
so I'm going to select that ooh look at
all these new choices oh look I like
this arrow to use it in my document all
I need to do is select it
and click OK in the symbol dialog box I
can modify the bullet a bit here if I
wish I can change the alignment of the
bullet by selecting the drop-down menu
in the alignment section you can see in
a preview section how this slightly
changes things I can also select the
font button to access the font dialog
box here I can change many things
probably the most likely thing you might
want to change is the bullet color to
change the color select the drop down
arrow next to the fonts color box and
select the color that works for you you
can view your changes in the preview
section before you click OK when I'm
ready to change the bullet in the actual
documents click OK in the define bullet
dialog box but what if I decide I want
to change a bullet list to a numbered
list or add a number list from scratch
just select the text and click the drop
down arrow next to the numbering command
on the Home tab I can choose one of the
options from the numbering library or
define a new number format just like we
did it with the bullets hmm I think this
one will work all I have to do is
left-click it and the numbered list will
appear in my document this looks pretty
good
as you can see a bulleted and numbered
list can be used to draw attention to
certain parts of the text and in this
document really make it look good I'm
going to finish formatting all my
bullets so they look the same and my
resume looks professional and I'm going
to go ahead and add all my information
to the resume organize your list today
by using the bulleted and numbered list
commands
