Hi,

I just can't figure out how to handle the bullet points in Impress. Quite often I want to remove a bullet point but I can't find that option anywhere. Sometimes when I hit backspace the bullet disappears, but the text remains indented, which is not what I want.

Or I want add bullets, and Impress just refuses. It seems quite simple: Rightclick > Bullets and numbering... , choose the type I want and hit OK. But then Impress either does nothing or gives me a different colored bullet than the document-standard.

I just don't get it, and I feel like a complete moron for asking here: but can someone please tell me how to add/remove bullets? Thanks.

edit: Please don't so this as a rant towards Impress or Libre Office. Ussually I use Latex instead or Word/Writer, and Matlab instead of Excel/Calc, so I'm just not really experienced with Office-suites.

I had a similar problem until just a little while ago; it appears you can fix this by clicking a button named "Bullets On/Off" which is the 9th button to the right from "Bold" in the same toolbar.

However, I'm having a different issue: I can't for the life of me make the damn thing pass the bullet on to the next line! I write normally, I have bullets enabled, but when I tap Enter to go to the next line and (supposedly and, as one could expect, logically) start a new bullet, shit doesn't happen! And I have no idea what to do and how to make it work! It is so frustrating I could kill someone (preferably the one who made the process so unintuitive).

Thanks, that helps. It's weird that it is on a random place on the toolbar, and not near the other Bullets and Numbering button. Also, this function is not available from any of the pulldown menu. This was just one of the annoyances I found in Impress. After this presentation I go back to Powerpoint
