Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in presentations to organize text and draw emphasis to specific information. The lesson teaches how to modify existing bullets, change bullet styles, switch to numbered lists, remove bullets and numbers, and select symbols as bullets. Slide layouts include content placeholders where text can be added as a list by default, with the ability to enter multiple lines that automatically wrap below the bullet.

2. Bulleted and numbered lists can be used in your presentation to arrange and format text on slides to draw emphasis to specific information. Also, lists can often be easier for the audience to read than paragraphs of text on a slide. In this lesson, you will learn how to modify existing bullets, change bullet style, switch to a numbered list, remove bullets and numbers, and select symbols as bullets.

3. Some slide layouts include a content placeholder where you can add text, or use graphical commands to insert tables, charts, SmartArt graphics, pictures, clip art, and media clips. On these slides, a bullet appears to the left of the placeholder text. If you choose to add text, rather than using one of the graphical commands to insert an item, the text is formatted into a list by default.

If the text requires more than one line, it will automatically wrap to the following line.Press the Enter key.
