Word bullet points
cwaters1 Can you upload a copy of a document with which you have the issue so that we can investigate.
I have the EXACT same problem. What's changed for me? A new laptop and a new copy of MSWord. Until now, backspace would clear a bullet or numbered/lettered paragraph. Now it won't. Fiddling with settings (proofing, etc.) made not difference.
What used to be a feature is now a fumble. I've figured out that I can undo the marker by clicking the menu item in the ribbon. but now I have to remove my hand from the keyboard and use the mouse, wrecking my productivity. You've managed to annoy thousands - millions - of users!
Brandywinebob What happens when you press Enter when a bulleted\numbered paragraph is added to the list?
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP I do not understand your question, as worded.
- The problem is with a list that is active. Pressing "enter" increments the list so I can add another entry, topic, subject, etc. If I don't need the newly added increment, backspace formerly removed the new (unneeded) item, but now backspace is useless.

Brandywinebob Press Enter TWICE! The first one starts a new paragraph with a bullet. The second one changes it to a paragraph in the Normal style without a bullet.
