3. Add a Bulleted List
Office supports multiple levels of bulleted lists. Therefore, as you might do in an outline, you can indent portions of an already-bulleted list to create sublists.
Word makes bulleted lists easy to include in documents. You only need to type the
list’s items and click a button to convert that list to a bulleted list.

Anytime you want to begin a new bulleted list, simply type an asterisk (*) followed by a space and then the first line of your list.
