While it is a great option to change the placement of your bullet character and the paragraph following the bullet, it’s not always the best option to make both these changes individually — especially if you want to retain the spacing between the bullet and the succeeding paragraph. It’s in times like this that you will appreciate the availability of the Left Indent Marker.

You have a 100 slide presentation that you are working on — it’s past midnight and your eyes feel glassy. In a state of semi-consciousness, you save your slides and shut down the presentation. You were probably working on slide number 60 when you called it a day. Now it’s another day — and you want to complete where you stopped. The only problem is that you have no clue about where you need to resume! And then up comes a small message that says: Slide 60 Pick up where you left off!

Ninety nine times of a hundred, you will end up drawing a triangle that has lines which are not too straight or angled – and yet it really does not matter because your drawn triangle still looks like well, a triangle! Additionally, your triangle actually looks more human, more personal, and yet different – and yes, these qualities are considered good. A triangle created using PowerPoint’s shape tools on the other hand looks too geometric and not organic at all. You will love these organic triangle shapes we have created for you.

Usually, most folks are quite happy with how PowerPoint positions your bullets within a paragraph, or even where the paragraph that follows the bullet character is placed. Yet, you need not just accept the defaults — especially if you like that extra bit of control! You essentially control these nuances with the three Indent Markers on the Horizontal Ruler — these Indent Markers decide how your bulleted and numbered lists are positioned within PowerPoint’s text placeholders.
