Default WordPad: How can you indent and outdent bullets

Hi Gang,

I'm a computer repair man and virtually every 32-bit copy of windows
contains WordPad. I realize that there are dozens of better word
processors out there than WordPad, but I don't want to have to install
and later uninstall them on client systems. I can figure out how to
create bullets, but not how to get it to create a sub-bullet and once
that's created move back out. The weird part is that if I open an RTF
file in MS-word I can create multiple levels of bullets and that will
load properly in WordPad, but how can I get WordPad to do what I want
it to (indent and outdent bullets)?

Thanks in Advance,
Christian Blackburn

We the people of the United States
here we go
I grabbed the little slide thingy up top
and slid it to the new position (five spaces to the right).
A carridge return keeps this
amount of detent, but, if I
turn bullets off, then on, it always restarts at zero on the scale above.
Sliding the bullet thingy up five spaces, or so resets the position.

If you can see the rtf attachment, the above might make more sense. If
not, just slide the square with the triangle above it, to the preferred
column. Turn bullets off, then on, to start over in the left column.

hth,

Hi Joe,

I didn't need the RTF, so that ruler up there is actually for
something other than margins eh?

Thank you so much!
