Yes, except the announcement of a bullet is letting you know what is visually on the page.

The reason I ask, is because to me, just listening to them, they don't add anything to the understanding of the material and just are a form of verble clutter.

Let me see if I can explain. The bullet will be up against the left margin, or most frequently ¼ of an inch to the right of the left margin. This is called the hanging indent. The start of the text will be a little to the right of the bullet. As an example, let's say that the bullet is 1/4 of an inch wide, and the space between the bullet and the start of the text is 1/4 of an inch. This means that the text is starting 1/2 of an inch away from the left margin. This is called the left indent and is .5 of an inch from the left margin. If the text you are typing is longer than the line and needs to wrap down to the next line, the start of that subsequent line will be positioned right under the start of the previous line’s text at the 1/2 inch mark from the left margin. When you are at the beginning of a line, you can use the Insert+f command to learn about the hanging indent and left indent positions. If JAWS announces Aligned left, then you know the text is flush against the left margin and there is not a bullet at the start of the information. The use of bullets makes it easier for the visual reader to quickly move from one item to the next. Personally, I find it also allows me to quickly move through bulleted information with JAWS.

I always type an asterisk with a space where I want my bullet. For me this is in bulleting paragraphs or sentences, and at the beginnings of lines.

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to tell me the steps for inserting bullets in a word document using Word 2013? I am using JAWS 17, and a dell laptop.
