Click on the little cross-hairs at the top of your table.

There are a few ways to remove the border but I find the easiest is to do the following: When you run out, simply press the TAB button on your keyboard and the table will automatically add a line. Tip for success: If you aren’t sure how many rows you’ll need just have a few. This is done exactly the same way as you normally would using the Bullets button on the home tab.

Now you need to enter in the data that you want to have in your bullet point columns.

For the ABC, I’m going to need two columns and 13 rows.

In the Dialog box, enter the number of rows and columns that you’ll need.

If what you need is more than what you can see, select the Insert Table button.

On the Insert tab of the ribbon, click on the Table icon.

Be that as it may, some users are more comfortable using tables and for this reason I’m going to show you how to do so with that method as well. However, it’s not something I really want to recommend because essentially it is a workaround. The following, perhaps more common method is below. Whilst the method above works, it does take a little bit of getting used to. Just by knowing how to use the column break, it’s way easier to edit the text, navigate around it and use. This is what I would say is the correct way of creating bullet point columns in Word. Take off the paragraph sign, you will see how it will be printed: This is how the bullet point list now looks (with the paragraph signs to ensure you can see what I’ve done) To do so, navigate to the Layout tab on the ribbon and select the two column option. Simply split what you have already done into columns.

You will see that there is now a column break in your text:.

On the Layout tab, navigate to the Breaks button and select Column break.

Put the curser where you want the columns to split.

Press the Paragraph button so that you can see all the spaces.

However, in short form do the following: Adding a Column Break

Therefore we need to add a column break halfway through the list.įor complete details on how to do so check out that post. If you just select the two column option on the Layout tab straight away, nothing will change to this specific list as there is simply not enough to be split into two columns. For ease of use I have just added the bullets from the home tab. Let’s make a simple list of the alphabet and then convert this into a bullet point 2 columned list. In this post I’m going to show you two different methods of achieving this without compromising on readability. However, sometimes you need to add bullets to the list and have sufficient spacing as well. When you are writing a list of items and want to split the details into different columns, that’s fairly easy to do and you can learn about how to do that in this post.
