Default bullet has changed

Recently when I open an old document in Word 2002 (or someone else sends me a
new document) which contains regular bulleted lists, the bullets show up as a
strange symbol instead a traditional bullet.

I can highlight the bad bullets list, click on the 'bullet icon' twice and
they will convert back to normal bullets, but what a pain! I am being forced
to do this in all my old docs as well as any new ones sent to me by others.
It seems that my default definition of what a standard bullet looks like has
somehow changed.

Note: When I start a new document, the bullet function works fine and I see
regular bullets.

Please help. I tried everything and have searched everywhere for an answer
to this question.

This is why we create and use styles to control text formatting. You
need to use style List Bullet.
