Make bullet points easier to handle in Word

I am really, really FED UP of trying to present my work by using bullet
points and to have them shooting all over the screen where Office wants to
put them. I'm doing a table which should take me about half an hour. Instead,
I've just spent 20 minutes trying to position one darn bullet point.

I feel your pain. The quirk that turns my crank most is Word's habit of
applying bullet styles that I have never defined and never used when I click
on the Bullets icon in the Formatting toolbar.

It sounds like you may have some styles set to "automatically update".
