You can add bullets to existing lines of text or you can automatically create bulleted lists as you type. Any graphical image or picture can be used as a bullet. Picture bullets are often used in documents that are created for the Web.
You can also create a multilevel picture bulleted list that displays list items that are indented at different levels. A multilevel bulleted list is similar to an outline numbered list. Each level in the list can use a different picture bullet.
