SYMPTOMS
When you use bullets in a document and then change the style of a bullet at the level one in the bullet-style hierarchy, the other bullets at this level are not automatically updated with the style change.
When you change the style of a bullet at a lower level in the hierarchy, the style of all of the bullets is changed.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
- Double-click the first word in the first line of the first level-one bullet.
- Press and hold SHIFT.
- Click the first word in the first line of each remaining level-one bullet.
NOTE: Even though level-two and level-three content is being selected, this does not affect the bullet style of this content.
- On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering.
- On the Bulleted tab, select the style that you want, and then click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
