Automatic bulleted and numbered lists

It is possible to create bulleted and numbered lists without using the two buttons on the Formatting toolbar.

Select (Tools > AutoCorrect Options) and select the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab.

When this option is selected you can create a bulleted list by typing an asterisk followed by a space before your line of text.

When this option is selected you can create a numbered list by typing a number followed by a tab before your line of text.

Embedding TrueType fonts

If you have chosen an unusual font for your bullet character you should embed TueType fonts when saving the presentation.

PowerPoint 2003 will however not let you edit a presentation that contains any embedded fonts.
