Word Developer Reference

Syntax

expression.ApplyBulletDefault(DefaultListBehavior)

expression   Required. A variable that represents a ListFormat object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
DefaultListBehavior Optional Variant Sets a value that specifies whether Microsoft Word uses new Web-oriented formatting for better list display. Can be either of the following constants: wdWord8ListBehavior (use formatting compatible with Microsoft Word 97) or wdWord9ListBehavior (use Web-oriented formatting). For compatibility reasons, the default constant is wdWord8ListBehavior, but in new procedures you should use wdWord9ListBehavior to take advantage of improved Web-oriented formatting with respect to indenting and multilevel lists.

Remarks

If the paragraphs are already formatted with bullets, this method removes the bullets and formatting.

Example
