> When you want to create numbered or bulleted lists in
> Word, you can format the bullets or numbers without changing the body
> text. This is useful if
> you want colored bullets or numbers, or want the numbers to be in a
> font style different from the body text.
>
> Numbers and bullets adopt the formatting in the paragraph
> mark at the end of the list, so format the body text as desired, then
> click the
> "Show Paragraph" button on the toolbar to reveal the paragraph marks.
> Select ONLY the paragraph mark at the end of the list and apply the
> desired text
> formatting (font size, font color, bold, italic, and so on.) The
> numbers or bullets take on the formatting you apply, but the body text
> remains
> unchanged.
