Create Your Own Bullets

Make your document stand out with custom bullets. Examples: We used a picture of a diver for a document about a swimming pool project. We used a leaf in a submital package on a building that we knew was going for a LEED certification. I use my logo as bullets in some of my project proposals.

1. The picture you want to use has to be saved somewhere on your hard drive so you can access it.
2. Place your cursor where you want to start the bullets. Or if you've already created the bulleted list, select the entire list.
3. Click Format on the menu bar > Bullets and numbering
4. Click the Customize button in the bottom right corner of the window.
5. Click the Picture button on the right near the top of the new window.
6. Click the Import button in the bottom left corner of the window.
7. Navigate to the location of the picture you want to use.
8. Select the graphic file. Click the Add button.
9. Your graphic will be added to the list of bullets.
10. Select your graphic.
11. Click OK 3 times to close the various windows.
12. A little bullet of your graphic will appear in your document.

You can use clip art or a photo to create bullets. You can change the size of the bullet by selecting the line the bullet is on and changing the font size. You probably need to change the font size of the actual text then to match the rest of your document.
