Hello
Can we edit the standard styles of bullets and numbering?
i.e. we would like to disable some of the ones which Word offers.
We know we can add list styles, but we would also like to remove some which we don't want to see in our documents.
Hope you can help,
Liz

Hello Liz

Thank you for your question.

If you go into Format - Bullets and Numbering and change one of the default bullet sets to something else, the bullet style you choose will remain in the bullets gallery unless someone presses the Reset button to restore the original bullet gallery settings.

Thank you. If we make changes to the default bullets in our global template, and one user presses reset - does that affect everyone?

Is there any way we could disable the "reset" button to prevent this action?

Hi Liz

I presume a user would create a new document from the global template, in which case if they do press the Reset button it will effect only the document they are working on, not the template.

I'm not sure whether it is possible to disable the Reset button and if so how you would go about this.

Word tip:

Using the status bar in Word

The status bar (the grey area at the bottom of the Word screen) tends to be underutilised as most people are not familiar with what it can be used for. Here are a shortcuts that can be accessed through the status bar:

Double-click the page number or section number on the status bar to open the Find and Replace feature.

Double-click REC to stop recording a macro.

Double-click TRK to turn Track Changes on or off.

Double-click EXT to turn extension mode on or off when selecting text.

Double-click OVR to turn off Overtype mode. Overtype is where you type and the text in front of your cursor gets replaced by the text you are currently typing, one character at a time. This usually gets turned on accidently when the Insert key is inadvertently pressed.

Double-click Language to change the Language format to something different.

Double-click the Spelling and Grammar Status icon to begin fixing spelling or grammatical errors.
