Changing Default Bullets in PowerPoint 2007

by rhyttinen on December 12, 2008

If you use PowerPoint on a regular basis, chances are that you use Bulleted Lists in order to present your information in an organized and meaningful way.  But if you don’t like the default bullets that PowerPoint uses, you can change the format of bullets.  For instance, you might prefer a symbol, a graphic, a check mark or even a smiley face.

To Change the Default Bullets in PowerPoint:

1. Select the bulleted list you wish to change.

2. On the Home Ribbon, click the drop-down arrow next to the bullets icon and choose Bullets and Numbering.

These instructions are similar for modifying bullets in other Microsoft Office 2007 applications.
