Typing the Bullet Point symbol or Dot Sign (•) is very very easy in both windows and mac from a keyboard.

In this guide, I will tell you about various interesting methods using which you can type bullet point symbols in word, excel, etc.

Here’s how

If you are searching for ways to insert bullet points in Microsoft Word, this guide will be of great help to you.

The method you choose depends on the task you are performing. I’ll start with the easiest first.

bullet point symbol

Here’s a quick fix:

Place the insertion pointer where you wish the bullet point symbol to appear in Word. Keep the Alt key pressed. You then need to press and release the Alt key after pressing 0149 on the numeric keypad.

You will now have bullet point symbols in your Word document.

Insert Using Symbol Dialog Box

Keyboards do not have a bullet point symbol. Because of this, it can be difficult for some people to insert the symbol into Word.

This symbol can be easily inserted into a Word document by using the Insert Symbol dialog box.

I will outline the steps below without further ado:

  • Wherever you wish to insert the symbol, place the insertion pointer.
  • Select the Insert tab.

how to type bullet sign 

  • The Insert tab will appear
  • Click on the Symbols button under the Symbols group. Click on More Symbols to expand the list.

  • Please click on the More Symbol drop-down menu.

A dialog box for selecting a symbol will appear. The Microsoft Word Symbol Library dialog box provides a list of all the symbols within the program.

From the library of symbols, locate the bullet point symbol.

Symbols of specific types can be displayed easily using the Subset dropdown list. Bullet and point symbols are found in the subset of General punctuation.

  • From the library of symbols, select the bullet point symbol
  • Click on the symbol to select it. Select Insert from the menu.
  • Choose the bullet symbol. Then click on Insert

insert symbol

By clicking the insert button, you will automatically insert a bullet point symbol in your Word document.

  • If you’d like to cancel this dialog, click on the Cancel button.

This is how the Symbol Dialog Box in Word allows you to insert this and other symbols.

Copy and Paste Bullet Symbol

A simple copy and paste into your Word document is the easiest way to add this symbol.

If you would like to copy the symbol and paste it into your document, it is below:

[su_note note_color=”#FFFFE0″ radius=”15″]

[/su_note]

Further reading will provide you with more options for inserting this symbol.

Add Bullet Point Sign to a List

When you type a bulleted list in Microsoft Word, the program is able to detect it. This feature uses its auto-formatting as you type functionality to help you.

Consequently, the insertion pointer must appear at the beginning of each new paragraph if you intend to insert a point or bullet.

Once the Tab key has been pressed, continue. You’ll need to press Shift+8 (asterisk). Once again, press Tab. The asterisk will be converted to a bullet or point in Word.

As an alternative, if you would like to include bullet points in your list, follow these instructions:

  • List your items. Each item should be on a new line

  • The options in the list should be highlighted.

  • Using these steps you will create a bulleted list from the select text.

Insert bullet point in Word using Alt Code

To insert the symbols into Word, Microsoft Word has a unique code for each of its symbols. They are called Alt codes.

Bullet Point Symbols have the Alt code 0149.

Here are the instructions for inserting the bullet point symbol with the Alt Code:

  • Wherever you wish to insert the symbol, place the insertion pointer.
  • Using the numeric keypad, press the alt code (0149) while holding down the Alt key.
  • You can now release the Alt key.

You will see the bullet point symbol appear in your Word document immediately after releasing the Alt key.

Insert Bullet Point symbol using AutoCorrect

In addition, you can use the AutoCorrect feature in Word to insert the Bullet Point symbol.

Using it, spelling mistakes can be corrected.

The bullet point symbol can be assigned a shortcut using this trick. (such as bpsym).

This will make Word think you actually wanted to type the bullet point symbol when you type bpsym. The bullet point will be converted automatically.

There is one thing that makes this approach interesting, the symbol can be assigned any code you want. Every time you type the assigned code, Word will insert the appropriate symbol for you.

Below we detail the steps for how to use AutoCorrect to type the Bullet Points in Word.

  • Click the Symbol button under the Insert tab.
  • Select More Symbols. A dialog box appears to let you select a symbol.
  • The Bullet Point symbol can be found here. Choose it by clicking on it.
  • The AutoCorrect dialog box is displayed after clicking the AutoCorrect button.
  • Select the bullet icon. Then click the AutoCorrect button.

insert bullet symbol using autocorrect 

Enter the following in the AutoCorrect dialog box:

[su_note note_color=”#FFFFE0″ radius=”15″]

Replace: BPSYM

With: •

[/su_note]

replace bsym with • 

Click the Add button. Click on OK.

Whenever you type BPSYM into Word, a Bullet Point symbol will appear in your document.

bullet point symbol custom shortcut (cp)

In this case, however, there are several things to keep in mind when you use the AutoCorrect Method.

  • Word will consider the AutoCorrect text part of the text if there is any text before or after it. Thus, it won’t be converted to a bullet point symbol. In the case of XBPSYM, no conversion will take place. However, X BPSYM will be converted to X •.

Use the button below to copy and paste the bullet point symbol. For more options to insert or type this symbol in Word, keep gliding down the page.

The table below contains some useful information about this symbol.

Symbol Name Bullet
Symbol
Alt Code 0149
Shortuct Alt+0149

You’ll love this guide if you are looking for ways you can insert a bullet point symbol in Microsoft Word.

There are several methods you can use to perform this task. I’ll go through each one of them beginning with the simple ones. However, below is a quick solution:

To insert a bullet point symbol in Word, place the insertion pointer at where you want to insert the symbol, hold down the Alt key, then press 0149 on the numeric keypad, then release the Alt key – this will insert a bullet point symbol into your Word document.

Insert using the Insert Symbol dialog

The bullet point symbol is not readily available on the keyboard.
Therefore, inserting this symbol into Word becomes difficult for some people.

With the help of the Insert Symbol dialog box, you can easily
insert this symbol into your Word document.

Without further ado, below are the steps involved:

  • Place the insertion pointer at where you want to
    insert the symbol.
  • Go to the Insert tab.
Click on the Insert tab
  • In the Symbols group, click on the Symbols button then choose More Symbols from the drop-down.
Click on More Symbol from the drop-down

The Symbol dialog box will appear. This dialog is a
library of all symbols in Microsoft Word.

  • Locate the bullet point symbol from the library
    of symbols.

To easily locate this symbol, use the Subset dropdown list to display specific types of symbols. You can find the bullet or point symbol in the General punctuation subset.

Locate the bullet point symbol from the library of symbols
  • Click to select the symbol then click on the Insert button.
Select the bullet symbol and click on the Insert button

As soon as you click on the insert button, a bullet point symbol will be inserted into your Word document.

  • Click on the Cancel button to dismiss the
    dialog box.

This is how you may insert this and any other symbol in Word using the Symbol Dialog Box.

Copy and Paste

One of the easiest ways to insert this symbol into your Word document is a simple copy and paste.

Below is the symbol if you wish to copy and paste it into your document:

Bullet Symbol Copy & Paste

For more interesting options on how to insert this symbol,
read further.

Sometimes, Microsoft Word senses that you’re typing a
bulleted list and uses its AutoFormat As You Type feature to help you.

Thus, if you want to insert a point or bullet at the beginning
of paragraph, place the insertion pointer at the beginning of the new
paragraph, then press the Tab key once, type an asterisk (Shift+8), then
press the Tab key again, Word will convert the asterisk to a bullet or
point.

Alternatively, if you want to add bullet points to your list,
obey the following instructions:

  • Type your list. Make sure each item begins a new line.

Define you list of Checkbox options

  • Highlight all the list options.
select the list you wish to add bullets to
  • Go to the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, select the down arrow next to the Bullets option.
  • A dropdown list of options will appear, select the Bullet list style to apply it to the selected text.
select the list you wish to add bullets to

These steps will insert a bulleted point to the select text
making it a bulleted list.

Insert bullet point in Word using Alt Code (Shortcut)

All the symbols in Microsoft Word have a unique code that can be used to insert the symbols into Word. These codes are known as Alt code.

The Alt code for the Bullet Point Symbol is 0149.

To insert the bullet point symbol into Word using the Alt
Code, please obey the instructions below:

  • Place the insertion pointer at where you want to insert the symbol.
  • Whilst holding down the Alt key, press the alt code (0149) on the numeric keypad.
  • Now release the Alt key.

As soon as you release the Alt key, the bullet point symbol
will be inserted into your Word document at exactly where the insertion pointer
was placed.

Insert Bullet Point symbol using AutoCorrect

Yet, another way you can use to insert the Bullet Point
symbol in Word is through the AutoCorrect feature in Word.

It is a facility designed for correcting spelling mistakes
like thsi to this.

Using this trick, you can assign a shortcut to the bullet point symbol (such as bpsym).

This way, whenever you type the text bpsym, Word will think
that you actually wanted to type • and will convert it into a bullet point automatically.

bullet point symbol custom shortcut

What makes this approach interesting is that you can assign
any code you want to the symbol and Word will be more than glad to insert the
symbol for you whenever you type the assigned code.

Without further ado, below are the steps you can use to type
Bullet Point symbol in Word using AutoCorrect.

  • On the Insert tab, click Symbol and then click
    More Symbols… The Symbol dialog appears.
  • Locate the Bullet Point symbol, then click to
    select it.
  • Click on the AutoCorrect… button to display the AutoCorrect dialog.
click on the bullet symbol, then the Auto Correct button
  • In the AutoCorrect dialog box, enter the
    following:

Replace: BPSYM

With: •

replace bsym with •
  • Click Add, then click OK.

Word will automatically insert the Bullet Point symbol into
your document whenever you type BPSYM.

bullet point symbol custom shortcut

However, below are some things to note when you are using the AutoCorrect Method to insert the Bullet Point sign.

  • If there is any text before or after the
    AutoCorrect text, Word will consider the AutoCorrect text as part of the text
    and hence will not convert it to the Bullet Point symbol. For example, XBPSYM
    will not get converted, but X BPSYM will get converted to X •.

как поставить точки в содержании в ворде

Оптимальный вариант – создание автоматического оглавления с помощью встроенных в Ворд инструментов. Эта функция позволит эффективно создать объект со ссылками на каждый раздел без необходимости ручного заполнения.

Ввести точки в содержании можно несколькими способами:

  • вставка невидимой таблицы;
  • автособираемое оглавление;
  • специальная табуляция.

Вставка таблицы

Если вам необходимо оформить содержание вручную и заполнить пустоту точками между предложением и номером страницы, тогда для красивого отображения объекта создайте таблицу из двух столбцов. В первом пропишите название глав и разделов, установите точки в необходимом количестве. Во втором же напишите номера страниц и выровняйте столбец по правому краю. После этого сделайте границы таблицы невидимыми.

Оглавление

На вкладке «Ссылки» – «Оглавление» – «Настраиваемое оглавление» можно выбрать тип заполнителя в содержании. Благодаря автоматическому сбору информации Word аккуратно воссоздаст объект с выравниванием по ширине. К слову, этот метод используется в научных работах, создании деловой документации, публицистике, печати учебников и книг.

как поставить точки в содержании в ворде_1

Специальная табуляция

Создайте ручное оглавление с указанием страниц, раскройте в окно «Табуляция» в блоке «Абзац» и установите соответствующие параметры отображения разделов документа в оглавлении. Чтобы заполнить пространство между названием и номером страницы, необходимо нажать TAB на клавиатуре один раз.
