Powerpoint 90degree lines

I have a bulleted list. the text after the bullets takes several lines; after
each point is made I want to increase the spacing before the next bullet.
This was easy in Word 2003.

Well, you need Space After in any version. In Word 2003 and earlier, you use
the Format Paragraph dialog; I believe it is still possible to access that
dialog in Word 2007.

Thanks Suzanne, yes the apce after is there and I've tried it so i think

There are a couple of settings that can affect this. If you have applied
some Space After and aren't seeing it, it could be that the style is
formatted as "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style." Also,
if you have both Space Before and Space After, only the greater of these
will be honored unless you check the box for "Don't use HMTL paragraph auto
spacing" in the Compatibility Options.

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing, adding space after each bulleted
item. When you use the space before/space after option, it will change the
spacing before the bulleted block, but not the space between each bulleted
item. Is there a way to increase the leading between each bulleted item?

Thanks!

Suzanne, you're a genius. I've spent the past forty-five minutes trying to
add space between my bullets and you solved it with one little check box. :p

Thank you very much!
