00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:13.370
I'm creating a checklist for an upcoming trip,
and right now it looks a little boring, so

00:00:13.370 --> 00:00:16.800
I'd like to format it so that it has a bullet
in front of each item.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.490
Adding bullets in Word 2010 is easy.

00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:24.470
All you have to do is select some text,

00:00:24.470 --> 00:00:28.590
and then click the Bullets command, which
is in the Paragraph group.

00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:32.369
You should now see some bullets on the left
side of the text.

00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:37.140
If you decide you don't want bullets, click
it again, and they'll disappear.

00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:41.110
For more options, you can click the Bullets
drop-down arrow.

00:00:41.110 --> 00:00:47.130
There are several different bullet types that
you can choose from.

00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:52.040
You can also create a numbered list using
the Numbering command, and it also has a drop-down

00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:54.729
arrow so that you can change the numbering
style.

00:00:54.729 --> 00:01:03.650
Since this is a checklist, I'd like to have
an actual checkbox before each line.

00:01:03.650 --> 00:01:07.939
I don't see a bullet here that really looks
like a checkbox, but luckily we can create

00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:09.280
one.

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.110
Go to Define New Bullet.

00:01:12.110 --> 00:01:14.850
And then click Symbol.

00:01:14.850 --> 00:01:19.090
Now, you can select any of these symbols to
be your bullet.

00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:22.930
As you can see, there are a lot of different
symbols to choose from.

00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:25.020
You can also scroll down to see more.

00:01:25.020 --> 00:01:31.280
If you want, you can change the font, but
the Wingdings font has a really big selection

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.890
of symbols, so I'm just going to stick with
that.

00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:39.550
Up here, I see a box that's exactly what I'm
looking for.

00:01:39.550 --> 00:01:41.280
I'll click OK.

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.930
While I'm here, I think I'll customize it
a little more.

00:01:45.930 --> 00:01:53.100
Click Font, and let's change the color of
the bullet.

00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:57.780
I'm going to choose this dark red color because
it will match the headings in my document.

00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:04.159
And there they are.

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.840
I like the way this looks, so now I can just
go through each category and add these bullets

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.480
to each one.

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:15.310
And the new bullet now appears under the Recently
Used Bullets.

00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:23.620
This looks a lot more like a checklist now.

00:02:23.620 --> 00:02:26.120
But now I'm noticing something else that I'd
like to change.

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.499
There's a checkbox for Freeze-dried meals.

00:02:28.499 --> 00:02:33.900
I'd actually like to list each meal individually,
while still keeping them grouped under Freeze-dried

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:34.900
meals.

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:37.450
We can do this with a multilevel list.

00:02:37.450 --> 00:02:43.040
Place the insertion point at the end of one
of the lines in the list and press Enter to

00:02:43.040 --> 00:02:44.269
start a new line.

00:02:44.269 --> 00:02:48.120
Then, press the Tab key, and it will move
this line to the right.

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:53.860
Then type a few lines of text.

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:58.099
Now, all of these lines are organized under
the Freeze-dried meals line.

00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:08.720
Then, I can add each meal so that they're
grouped under each day.

00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:17.980
And I'm just using the Tab key to move the
lines to the right as needed.

00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:23.410
All of the meals are now in this mini-outline,
and this is called a multilevel list.

00:03:23.410 --> 00:03:28.030
You can change the formatting by selecting
it and then clicking on the Multilevel List

00:03:28.030 --> 00:03:29.139
command.

00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:32.689
Then, select a style.

00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:37.860
OK, I don't really like this formatting, and
it doesn't match the rest of the document,

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:40.639
so I'm going to undo that.

00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.269
And I'm just going to manually change these
bullets.

00:03:44.269 --> 00:03:49.340
Place the insertion point on one of the lines
that you want to change, and then select a

00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:50.920
bullet type.

00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:57.189
And it changes all of the lines that are on
that same level.

00:03:57.189 --> 00:04:00.079
We can do the same thing for the days of the
week.

00:04:00.079 --> 00:04:04.379
Let's choose a numbered list for this one.

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:08.079
There, this looks better.

00:04:08.079 --> 00:04:32.660
Now we have a nice, organized checklist for
our camping trip.
