Setting style on closing bulleted list

G

Guest

Hi,
I've defined a style for bulleted list, MyBulletStyle. When I turn it on, I
can make a (indented) list. Style for next paragraph is also MyBulletList.

One can end the list (so do I) as follows:
after typing the last item hit Enter. Word comes up with the next bullet.
Type nothing and hit Enter, then the bullet disappears, the list is ended and
after an empty paragraph a new one is starting. This new one has no bullet
(of course), BUT continues to have style MyBulletStyle and all following
paragraphs too. As the font of list and body text is the same, one can
lightly oversee the bad style.

What can I do?

You could always set a keyboard shortcut to the body text style and press
that key combination after pressing ENTER when ready to switch styles.
Right-click the toolbar area, select "Customize", click the "Keyboard..."
button, select the "Styles" category on the left, scroll down on the right
(if necessary) and select a style and assign a shortcut key. Or you could
also drag the icon to a toolbar and click to change it back to Body Text.

Apply a different style to the follow-on paragraphs.

Thanks for your reactions.

The problem is that my users are not (yet) wont to using styles. They will
oversee the style change after the list. Is it possible to set off the option
that Word ends the list at an empty paragraph (double Enter)?
