Bullet update?

Question

Was there an update to bullets recently? I used to be able to have two different kinds of bullets in the same list but I can't do that anymore. It was super useful for showing which items in a list were and were not completed using checkboxes and checkmarks. Now, whenever I try to change one item in my list to a checkmark, it changes all of them to the same bullet icon. Would love to have that functionality back.

Answer 1

Could you be using the web based version in stead of the desktop version?

The web version doesn't support mixed bullet styles (unless you change the indent level)

Answer 2

Hi John!

I found an old post with the add-in for Magic Bullets in PowerPoint. I'm trying to create a master slide/template that includes numbered bullets with the number inside a circle. Is your add-in compatible with Office 365 or is there a new way to accomplish this? I see that icons are available or the circled numbers are within certain fonts, but I need it to auto-number like numbered bullets do.

Thank you in advance for any tips!

That was it! I didn't even realize the web version had different functionality than the desktop version. I opened it in the app and it worked for me. I don't remember that being the case before, but whatever works. :) Thank you!
