Not feeling violent, just trying to create a list. I know I've used bullets before in at least one article, but I'm having two difficulties. When I try to Select All to copy and paste into the long summary, the bullets disappear. I cannot include them in the highlighted selection. This makes me wonder whether they reappear in the attached document that I'm uploading.
Also, I seem to recall that I spaced my bulleted points with one space in between each point. Is that correct, or are we supposed to double space between bulleted points?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Re: question about using bullets
Are you using Word? I ask, because I had a similar problem when I was using Open Office and GoogleDocs. Now that I'm using Word again, problem solved...almost. When I post in the summary, I still have to manually correct the spacing between the bullet and the text.
As for spacing, I'm not sure that it matters. I generally don't space between bullet points, but do space in a numbered list. I don't recall seeing a rule here about this, but I could be wrong.

Re: question about using bullets
Hi Lala, thanks for your response. Well, part of my problem is that I'm on my (newish) computer - a MacBook. So I'm able to save my document in Word, but this seems to be problematic. When I had my old Windows based computer, I don't recall that I had this bullet issue. I don't remember ever having to manually correct spacing in the summary before, but perhaps I did.
That said, I love my new computer. Totally worth these minor hiccups.
Anyway, thank you for your help.
