Bullet Points

SJ Henderson

Alt 0149 is not working. Is there another way to create bullet points in cells?

Ray Lindstrom

Hi @SJ Henderson,

You have to double-click into the cell before using the ALT + 0149. Then you hold the Alt key while clicking 0149, and then release the Alt key.

Not sure of any other way to create bullet points in SS.

All the best,

Thanks Ray! I am not sure why, but it is simply just not working in my SS. I tried to find alternative ways to do this and also do not think there are any. Thanks anyway!

@SJ Henderson,

No problem. Happy to help.

Just to confirm, you are double-clicking into the cell first. Right? You must see the cursor in order for this to work.

Yes

I had this same issue. I ended up opening the Windows Character Map and pasting the bullet into the cell and that worked.

Update: Alt + 7 also works. So it's either Alt + 7, or it's Alt + 0149. Both work.

For laptop users without an external keyboard:

Ctrl-windowskey-O

Click on options

Turn on numpad

Double click in cell

Hold left alt key

While holding the left alt key:

- Click num lock on virtual keyboard until it is off and then on

- Click on 7

Let go of left alt key

It would be nice if this feature were added to the tool bar. It would make note taking a lot easier!

Hello @SJ Henderson,

I had the same problem until I read Ray's response.. you need to use the keys on the NumPad to the right of your keypad, not the number keys above your keyboard. I did the latter first and did not get a bullet, then I used the Alt + 7, using the 7 on the NumPad and it worked for me
