making the bullet function have two bullets per line

[Guest]

I am real new to the Office 2007 suite. I am fairly proficient in the older
version but havent had the time to play with 2007.

Anyway, when I choose the bullet button as usual in Word, I can enter the
info for that bullet. When I next hit enter, the cursor begins a bullet on
the next line. But I need to have two bullet points on a line and cannot
figure out how to do so. Any help or direction is much appreciated.
Thanks-Will

I'm not sure I'm understanding. Are you saying that you want Word to use two
bullet characters instead of 1? Or, are you saying that you want to have two
bulleted items in the "same" paragraph?

If the former, I don't believe there's an automatic say to do it with
bullets in Word 2007 (in Word 2007, you could trick Word into doing it using
custom numbering format, and typing multiple characters into the Number
Format box, but this no longer works in Word 2007). You can, of course,
simulate it by using tabs or a table.

If you mean the latter... you can accomplish this by using a table, and
remove the border formatting to disguise the fact that it's a table.

Am I inferring correctly that you were able to do what you want in Word
2003? If so, can you describe what you were doing and how you were doing it?
Armed with that, I might understand better, and possibly can think of a Word
2007 equivalent.

Herb, it was the latter. Using the table got me just what the doctor
ordered. Appreciate your help in this matter. Now I can finish my FSBO
flyer and get my house on the market. Thanks again as it saved me alot of
aggrevation trying to figure it out myself. -Will

The real estate market is really strange these days. Good luck! (I was a
licensed Realtor in an earlier life.)
