How can I adjust bullets or numbering indents in Microsoft Office? 

Both bullet lists and numbering lists can be adjusted in the same manner by adjusting list indents in Microsoft Office. Below we will use bullets as an example on how to adjust list indents. Changing the position of the bullets in a list, or the spacing between the bullets and text involves fine-tuning the bullet indents. To adjust list indents on all bullets in a list, perform the following:

1. Select the bullets in the list by clicking a bullet. The text won’t appear selected.  

   

2. Right-click, and then click Adjust List Indents
3. Change the distance of the bullet indent from the margin by clicking the arrows in the Number position: box, or change the distance between the bullet and the text by clicking the arrows in the Text indent: box.

   

4. Click OK

Change the Indent for one Bullet

To change the indent for one bullet, perform the following:

1. Click next to the text for the bullet you want to change
2. Click Home
3. Click Paragraph
4. Click Bullets
5. Click Change List Level
6. Click the level where you want the bullet. Each level has a different bullet style.

Note: If you don’t care what the bullet looks like and all you want to do is change the position of a single bullet, click next to the text of the bullet, and then click Home>Paragraph>Increase indent and Decrease indent.
