Bullets Automatically Placed in Frames

Anonymous

Every time I set a list to be displayed in bullets it automatically creates a frame around the bullets and pushes it to the top of my document ruining all of my formatting. I know how to remove the frame, but how do I eliminate this being my default setting. This is extremely frustrating.

    See if frame formatting has been applied to the style you are using for your bulleted lists. Click in a bulleted paragraph and press Ctrl+Shift+S to display the Apply Styles pane. Click the Modify button. In the dialog box, click Format and then click Frame. Click the "None" option and confirm with OK.
