Hi Karen,

Yes, there is a way to do this. These instructions are for Word 2003.

To customise your first set of bullet points, right click next to the first bullet point, and choose Bullets and Numbering...

Now double click the new style, or click the 'customise' button for even more styles, including symbols and your own pictures.

Now, to apply this new style throughout your document, go to Format -> Styles and Formatting. The Task Pane on the right should show the Styles and Formatting options and styles.

Hover over the style that your remaining bullet points use (eg. 'bulleted') and click the drop-down arrow on the right and choose 'select all X instances' (where X is the number of instances that actually exists in your document). Then click once on your new style that you want to apply. The document should update all your remaining dot points to the same new style.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards, Rich

Word tip:

Reduce file sizes for Word documents

By default, Word will have a 'Fast Save' option enabled in its settings.

Having this option enabled does not really provide any advantage in terms of quicker save times; and it can help contribute to a larger file size as nothing is ever deleted from the document (to the computer's way of thinking).

Fast saves can be disabled to going to Tools - Options - Save then unchecking 'Allow fast saves'and clicking OK.

Saving is done in the normal fashion (Save button or Ctrl + S) and you shouldn't notice much of a difference in the amount of time Word takes to perform the save(if any).
