After creating a list using the bullet styles if I highlight an item and then use styles and formatting as you describe applying any of the list styles does not change the bullet style. From the changes that I see it appears to affect only the indenting and line spacing. This is also true if I create the list using a list style and not with bullets. Any suggestions? What you've described would, I think, be easier (fewer steps) than the method that does work for me because it is so easy to open the Styles and Formatting tool and keep it open on screen.
