I am trying to change the color of the bullet points on a slide in PowerPoint. The instructions said to highlight the bullet points. How do you do this? I was only able to highlight the text not the bullet points.

To change the color of the bullet points in PowerPoint, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the text box that contains the bullet points.
  2. Highlight the bullet points by clicking on the bullet point itself or by selecting the entire text in the text box.
  3. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon.
  4. In the Font group, click on the Font Color dropdown (it looks like an 'A' with a color bar beneath it).
  5. Choose the desired color for the bullet points.

This will change the color of the bullet points along with the text. If you want to change the color of the bullets separately from the text, you may need to adjust the bullet format settings, but the exact steps for that may vary depending on the version of PowerPoint you are using.

If you are using PowerPoint for the web, the ability to apply advanced formatting features may be limited compared to the desktop app.
