The tool bar icon for bullet points

It is worth experimenting with the options:-

Indenting bullets

Lets say you have

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3
• item 4
• item 5

You want to indent item 2 so it is a sub-item of item 1

• item 1
  • item 2
• item 3
• item 4
• item 5

Put the cursor before the first item text (item 2, in this case) and press tab.

If you then decide you no longer want item 2 to be indented, put the cursor before the item and press shift+tab

And you will go back to your original list format again.

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3
• item 4
• item 5
