How to Put Bullet Points in Google Slides

Follow the steps below to add bullet points in Google Slides:

1. Select the Slide Where You Want to Add Bullet Points

Click on the slide where you want to insert bullet points. This will make sure you’re working on the correct slide.

2. Click Inside the Text Box Where the Bullet Points Will Go 

Select the text you want to add bullet points to by first clicking inside the text box, then highlighting the specific portion of text you want to format. This ensures that the bullet points are applied to the correct text.

3. Click the Bullet List Icon to Add Bullets

Click on the “Bulleted list” icon in the toolbar. This will turn the text into bullet points or start a bulleted list where your cursor is.

4. Customize the Style of Your Bullets

Click the small arrow next to the bullet icon to change the style. You can choose different shapes, such as squares, circles, or dashes.

5. Use the Tab Key to Create Indented Sub-points

Press “Tab” to create indented sub-points under your main bullets. Use “Shift + Tab” to move the bullet back to the main list.

Tip: You can use bullet points to organize information, but too many of them can make your slides look crowded and hard to read. Don’t use too many bullet points, and only use them to draw attention to important information. If you use too many bullet points, your message may not be as clear to your readers.
