Adjust the indent in a bulleted or numbered list

1. If the ruler is not displayed, on the View menu, click Ruler.
2. On the slide, click the bulleted or numbered text you want to change.

   If the text contains more than one level of bulleted or numbered items, the ruler displays indent markers for each level.

   

   First-line indent, showing the indent position of the bullet or number.

   Left indent marker, showing the indent position of text in the list.

3. Do any of the following:
   • To change the position of the bullets or numbers, drag the first-line indent marker.
   • To change the position of the text, drag the left indent marker. Drag just the pointed top part of the marker (if you drag the bottom rectangle, both indents move together).
   • To move the indents as a whole and keep the relationship between the bullet or number and the left text indent as it is, drag the rectangular part on the bottom of the left indent marker.
4. Repeat step 3 for each level of bullets and numbers and each level of text you want to change.

Note  To change these settings for all the slides in a presentation, make the changes to the slide master. To display the slide master, on the View menu, point to Master, and then click Slide Master.
