Match Text Size of Bullets and Numbering in MS PowerPoint

Dennis Faas's picture

Does it sometimes seem that your bullets and numbers overpower the text on your PowerPoint slides?

Or, are they so minute you can barely see them from the back of the room?

To improve the appearance of your bullets and numbering, follow the steps below:

  • Select the numbered text.  
     
  • In MS PowerPoint versions 2002/2003, click on Format | Bullets And Numbering.  
     
  • In version 2007, click on Bullets And Numbering from the Bullets And Numbering drop-down list on the Home tab.  
     
  • Click the Numbered tab.  
     
  • In the Size box, click the down arrow until 80 is displayed, as shown.  
     
  • Click OK.

The numbers will now be 80% the size of the surrounding text.
