Re: Bulleted text

I prefer to see bullets aligned with the paragraph.  I think it looks
neater and it saves a lot of space, especially if you have more than one
level.  The documents I see often have more than one level of bullets
and it can get VERY confusing trying to get the indent right, and it's
very hard for the reader.  So I think it's good from a word processing
viewpoint AND the reader's viewpoint.
