Word - Trouble formatting bulleted list

Hi,

I am having difficulty formatting a bulleted list in Word. I have never
before experienced this particular issue. FYI, this is in Word 2007.

So I am trying to create a bulleted list that looks like this:

•	First Bullet
o	Second Bullet
•	Third Bullet
o	Fourth Bullet

Etc...

And what I am getting is:

•	First Bullet
•	Second Bullet
•	Third Bullet
•	Fourth Bullet

Anyone know why this is happening and how I can change it so that when I
indent "second bullet" (as an example), it creates a
differently-formatted bullet? Thanks in advance.

Assuming that hierarchical bulleted lists are basically the same as
other multilevel lists, you need to (1) place the cursor in the first
paragraph that you want to have a level-1 bullet, choose the Multi-
Level List icon from the Ribbon, and click "More."

Then assign a paragraph style to Level 1, and tell it which symbol to
use.

Then, without leaving the paragraph you are in, in the panel that is
open, go to the next level, assign a style, and choose a symbol. Etc.

Then you can mark each bulleted paragraph with its proper style name,
and the bullets will come out right.

The very important steps that Peter describes are discussed in detail at

Thanks, I actually found the correct answer in another thread:

Try Office button - Word Options - Proofing tab - AutoCorrect Options -
AutoFormat As You Type tab, second option from the bottom (Set left-
and
first-indent with tabs and backspaces).

Note that depending on autoformatting is a bit risky. You'll get more
control if you set up a multilevel list correctly.

Also, will that give him the different bullet for each level?

Or in http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets20072010.html.

Good point! That is a more helpful article for bullets, specifically.

Only if a multilevel list format was selected in the first place, I believe.
