For design purposes, there may be a time when you want to place a bullet in the middle of a sentence or between two words. You cannot accomplish this by using the Bullets and Numbering feature in Word. Instead, you must work directly with the actual bullet character.

To insert a bullet you can type it directly by holding down the Alt key and typing 0183 on the numeric keypad. If you prefer, you can follow these steps:

1. Choose Symbol from the Insert menu. Word displays the Insert Symbol dialog box.
2. Make sure that (normal text) is selected in the Font drop-down list. (See Figure 1.)

3. In the table of symbols, select the bullet character.
4. Click on Insert. The bullet is inserted in your document.
5. Click on Close.
