Does anyone know if it is possible in a Word 2000 document to change just
bullet points to other colours?

Many thanks

Hi Franco

The cheat's way is to do this. Make sure that end of paragraph marks are showing (if necessary click the ś button on the Standard
Toolbar). Create your bullets in the normal way. Select just the paragraph mark, and make it the colour you want the bullets to be.

The proper way to do it is to use styles (perhaps the built-in List Bullet styles) and modify them to suit your needs. Format |
Styles | Modify | Format | Numbering | Bulleted. Click on one of the panels (preferably the one that is already highlighted), click
Customize, then Font, and choose your colour.

Hope this helps.

That's assuming you want to change the color of just the bullets themselves.
If you really want to change the bullet points (that is, the bulleted
items), just change the font color of the paragraph style (List Bullet, for
example) that you're using.

It was just the Bullets, many thanks for your sage advice, as usual.
