How to Align Text After a Bullet in PowerPoint
Bulleted lists are standard fare in PowerPoint presentations, and sometimes you want to tweak those bullets to look just right. PowerPoint gives you a fair amount of control by letting you align and adjust the text after a bullet point. Here’s how.
Aligning the Bulleted Text Horizontally in Its Text Box
First, open your PowerPoint presentation and go to the slide that contains the bulleted text. Highlight the text on the bullet you want to adjust.
On the “Home” tab, you’ll see four different alignment options—the same ones you use for aligning regular text.
From left to right, these options are:
- Align Left (Ctrl+L)
- Center (Ctrl+E)
- Align Right (Ctrl+R)
- Justify (Ctrl+J)
Hovering over each option with your mouse gives you the alignment type, respective shortcut key, and alignment description.
