与编号列表不同,项目符号列表让您可以不按特定顺序排列多个要点。这为您提供了一种以简洁格式列出产品(way to list products)、摘要、任务和其他项目的好方法。在Microsoft Word中,您可以添加项目符号和自定义选项。
我们将向您展示如何在Word中向现有文本添加项目符号点、开始新列表以及更改项目符号样式以满足您的需要。

将项目符号点添加到现有文本
如果您的文档中已有要转换为项目符号列表的项目,只需几个步骤即可完成。
- 首先,确保每个项目都在自己的行上。
- (Select)通过在文本中拖动光标来选择所有项目。

- 转到主页(Home)选项卡并选择功能区段落(Paragraph)部分中的项目符号(Bullets)按钮。这将添加默认的黑点项目符号。

- 或者,您可以使用向下箭头打开项目符号(Bullets)菜单并选择不同的样式,例如圆形或方形。

然后,您会将项目整齐地列在项目符号列表中。
您也可以继续添加更多项目。将光标放在最后一项的末尾,然后按Enter或Return。您的光标将下降到下一行,并带有一个项目符号点,准备好添加下一个项目。

开始一个新的项目符号列表
如果您想开始一个新列表,请插入第一个项目符号点,键入您的项目,然后继续添加更多项目。
- 将光标放在文档中要开始项目符号列表的位置。
- 转到“主页”(Home)选项卡,选择功能区“段落”部分中的“项目(Paragraph)符号(Bullets)”按钮,或打开“项目符号(Bullets )”菜单以选择特定的项目符号样式。

- 在出现的项目符号旁边键入您的第一项。按Enter或Return并添加下一个项目。
- 继续这个过程,直到你完成你的清单。
当您到达最后一个项目符号点时,按Enter或Return两次。这会将您的光标放在没有项目符号点的新行上。

创建自动项目符号列表
Microsoft Word 提供自动更正选项(AutoCorrect options),可在您键入文本时设置文本格式。这些选项之一是自动创建项目符号列表。
打开该功能后,您可以键入一个星号,该星号会转换为默认的项目符号样式。您还可以键入破折号以开始列表,并以破折号作为项目符号。
- 转到“文件(File)”选项卡并选择“选项(Options)” 。
- 选择左侧的校对和右侧的(Proofing)自动更正选项(AutoCorrect Options)。

- 在弹出窗口中,转到“键入时自动套用格式”(AutoFormat As You Type)选项卡。
- 在“键入时应用”下,选中“(Apply as you type)自动项目符号列表(Automatic bulleted lists)”复选框。

- 在“自动更正(AutoCorrect)”窗口中选择“确定”,然后在“ (OK)Word 选项(Word Options)”窗口中再次选择。
当您向前键入星号或破折号时,这会自动创建项目符号列表格式。如果要撤消列表格式,请选择“自动更正选项(AutoCorrect Options)”按钮中的箭头,然后选择“撤消自动项目符号(Undo Automatic Bullets)” 。

将子级别添加到项目符号列表
无论是向现有文本添加项目符号(add bullets to existing text)还是开始新列表,都可以使用不同的级别。这类似于您有多个缩进级别的大纲。
- 将光标放在要转换为子项目的项目的开头。

- 按T ab(Tab)键或选择主页(Home)选项卡上的增加缩进量(Increase Indent)按钮。在Windows上,您还可以使用项目符号(Bullets)下拉菜单中的更改列表级别(Change List Level)选项。
- 列表项将以不同的项目符号样式缩进,将其作为子级别放置在下方。

您可以继续使用相同的过程进一步缩进,每次都会看到新的项目符号样式。这使您可以毫不费力地创建多级列表。

自定义项目符号样式
如果您想使用默认项目符号样式以外的其他内容,您可以创建自定义项目符号。如果您想使用不同的符号、字符或图像,这会很方便。
- 在主页(Home)选项卡的段落(Paragraph)部分中选择项目符号(Bullets)下拉列表。
- 选择定义新项目符号(Define New Bullet)。

- 然后,您可以在弹出窗口顶部为要使用的项目符号类型选择“符号(Symbol)”、“图片(Picture)”或“字体”。(Font)下面,您可以看到“符号(Symbol)”对话框作为示例。

- 接下来,在“对齐方式”下拉框中为项目符号与列表项的位置选择左对齐、居中或右对齐。(Alignment)
- 在进行调整时,您会在窗口底部看到预览。(Preview)完成后选择确定(OK)。

然后您将在文档中看到新的项目符号样式。您还可以在“主页”选项卡的“(Home )项目符号(Bullets)”菜单中看到它,以便在其他地方使用它。

从列表中删除项目符号
如果您决定稍后删除项目符号列表但又想保留您的项目,您可以轻松地做到这一点。
选择(Select)项目符号列表中的所有文本。转到“主页”(Home)选项卡并选择“项目符号(Bullets)”按钮。这将取消选择项目符号列表格式并从文本中删除项目符号。

当您在Microsoft Word(Microsoft Word)文档中插入项目符号点时,您将有一种整洁而专业的方式来显示列表项。

How to Add Bullet Points in Microsoft Word
Unlike numbered lists, bullet lists let you lay out several points in no particular order. This gives you a good way to list products, summaries, tasks, and other items in a clean format. In Microsoft Word, you can add bullets and customize the options.
We’ll show you how to add bullet points in Word to existing text, start a new list, and change the bullet style to fit your needs.

Add Bullet Points to Existing Text
If you already have items in your document that you’d like to turn into a bullet list, you can do so in just a few steps.
- To get started, make sure each item is on its own line.
- Select all of the items by dragging your cursor through the text.

- Go to the Home tab and select the Bullets button in the Paragraph section of the ribbon. This adds the default black dot bullet.

- Alternatively, you can use the down arrow to open the Bullets menu and choose a different style, like a circle or square.

You’ll then have your items listed neatly in a bullet list.
You can continue to add more items as well. Place your cursor at the end of the last item and press Enter or Return. Your cursor will drop down to the next line with a bullet point in place, ready for you to add your next item.

Start a New Bullet List
If you want to start a new list, insert the first bullet point, type your item, and then continue adding more.
- Place your cursor in the document where you want to begin the bullet list.
- Go to the Home tab, select the Bullets button in the Paragraph section of the ribbon, or open the Bullets menu to choose a specific bullet style.

- Type your first item next to the bullet that appears. Press Enter or Return and add your next item.
- Continue this process until you complete your list.
When you arrive at the last bullet point, press Enter or Return two times. This places your cursor on a new line without a bullet point.

Create an Automatic Bullet List
Microsoft Word offers AutoCorrect options that format your text as you type it. One of those options is to create bullet lists automatically.
Once you turn on the feature, you can type an asterisk that converts to the default bullet style. You can also type a dash to start a list with dashes as bullet symbols.
- Go to the File tab and select Options.
- Choose Proofing on the left and AutoCorrect Options on the right.

- In the pop-up window, go to the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
- Under Apply as you type, mark the checkbox for Automatic bulleted lists.

- Select OK in the AutoCorrect window and again in the Word Options window.
When you type an asterisk or dash moving forward, this automatically creates a bullet list format. If you want to undo the list format, select the arrow in the AutoCorrect Options button and choose Undo Automatic Bullets.

Add Sublevels to a Bullet List
Whether you add bullets to existing text or start a new list, you can use different levels. This is similar to an outline where you have multiple levels that indent.
- Place your cursor at the start of the item you want to convert to a sub-item.

- Press your Tab key or select the Increase Indent button on the Home tab. On Windows, you can also use the Change List Level option in the Bullets drop-down menu.
- The list item will indent with a different bullet style, placing it beneath as a sublevel.

You can continue to indent further using the same process and see a new bullet style each time. This lets you create a multilevel list with little effort.

Customize the Bullet Style
You can create a custom bullet if you want to use something other than the default bullet styles. This is convenient if you want to use different symbols, characters, or images.
- Select the Bullets drop-down list in the Paragraph section on the Home tab.
- Pick Define New Bullet.

- You can then choose Symbol, Picture, or Font at the top of the pop-up window for the type of bullet you want to use. Below, you can see the Symbol dialog box as an example.

- Next, select left, centered, or right in the Alignment drop-down box for the bullet’s position to the list items.
- As you make your adjustments, you’ll see a Preview at the bottom of the window. Select OK when you finish.

You’ll then see your new bullet style in your document. You can also see it in the Bullets menu on the Home tab to use it in other spots.

Remove Bullets From a List
If you decide to remove the bullet list later but want to keep your items, you can do this easily.
Select all of the text in the bullet list. Go to the Home tab and choose the Bullets button. This deselects the bullet list format and removes the bullets from your text.

When you insert bullet points in a Microsoft Word document, you’ll have a neat and professional way to display list items.
