How to Change your Outline Symbols in MS Word

I guess you didn’t know you can select which symbols you use for outlines. You can even change them to your own symbols if you like. There are default symbols already available in MS Word aside from the usual numbers and letters but if you want to personalize your outlines you have to follow the steps below:

1. Click on Format | Bullets and Numbering
2. A dialog box will appear. This box allows you to select which symbols you would like to use.
3. By choosing any format except None, the Customize button will be enabled.
4. Click Customize and you will be able to select the font, size, character or a picture to use.
5. Use the Picture button to search for the right symbol for your document.
6. Click OK

You now have a personalized outline that has not been used by anyone else.
