If you need the same text in front of all the bullets, you can do this from
Bullets and Numbering, though it doesn't really a save you a lot of work.
Use the Numbered instead of the Bulleted tab, select (none) for the
numbering style, and then enter your desired text and the bullet (you can
Copy/Paste it in) and set up the tabs and indents.

An easier, less trouble-prone way to do this is to save the text, bullet,
and tab as an AutoText entry, then insert this at the beginning of each
paragraph in a given style (formatted with the necessary indents and tabs).

Hi Sean,

If you want text in front of the a bullet symbol then you can insert the
symbol using Insert/Symbol

Thanks Susanne. I'm not sure where get started. All i want
is plain text in front of the first bullet, like this:

sports: (bullet point) soccer
(bullet point) basketball

(buller point) tennis

is there a straight way to do this?

You'll have to do it manually. Unfortunately, the hidden paragraph mark
trick doesn't work here. So you'll have to figure out what the bullet
character is (Word usually uses bullets from the Symbol or Wingdings font)
and insert it using Insert Symbol. You'll also need to set tab stops for the
bullet and the following text that will align with the ordinary bulleted
paragraphs below.

Hi Sean,

Use <Alt 0149> (use the numbers on the numpad) to insert a round Bullet
character.

Now if you want to know how I found this, go to Insert/Symbol, make sure
you are viewing "Normal text", click a character you like and note the Alt
key code at the bottom of the dialog box.

Put the info in a table with the bullets in the second
column.
