I am struggling with setting indents for multi-levels bullets. How do you set a .25 bullet indent, followed by a another bullet that is indented .5, and so on?
Thanks for reaching out! This is a great question, and I'm happy to help!
You can set the indentation for bulleted text in the paragraph formatting options from the Home tab. Just be sure the text box is selected, so the formatting options are available:
Once you set the indentation, the next time you click Enter, the bullet point will start at the same setting. Here's a Peek recording of this. I hope this helps!
Thanks for your reply, Becca. These instructions are for setting the space before the text. How can I set the space before the bullet? For example, if I want to position the bullet with a .6" indent before it, where is that setting?

Hello again, Judy! Following those steps will edit the space before the bullet point. Here's a Peek recording of my test!
Another way to get to the paragraph formatting options is to click the Line Spacing drop-down, then click Line Spacing Options:
