BULLETS AND NUMBERING
Bullet/Number refers to the ‘marks’ that can be inserted in a document to highlight certain lines or to
distinguish some points of text in a document when different lines or paragraphs have to be identified or
have to be shown separately. It is a dot, number or a symbol that shows the different sections of a paragraph
separately.
