When you have bullets turned on, each new line starts with a bullet.
However, entering two carriage returns turns this off.
Word is very frustrating in the way it handles 'automatic' bullets
and numbering. I found that sometimes when it was going haywire,
especially with numbering, that clicking the formatting button on and
off several times returns you to the desired formatting.
Another tip is to use Styles. I have a body text style and a bullet
style saved in my Normal template. For both of these I have defined
keyboard shortcuts, so I can format paragraphs as I go without
needing the mouse.
Hope this helps.

Hi Muggians
Can some-one please help me? When I type away in MS Word it will
often format itself without my prompting it.
An example would be putting in bullets or indents after one has
been made, but I don't want the subsequent one/s. I have to delete
the unwanted format about 10 times before it finally realises I
don't want it there.
Hi Alex
Ah yes, (swear)Word.
I believe when you use bulletting, to turn it off you click
(unclick?) the button on the formatting toolbar (which you should be
viewing) which will be depressed whenever you use bullets/numbering.
Good luck
