A bullet (•) marks list items; a hyphen (-) joins words or shows ranges. Bullets look cleaner for lists, while hyphens belong in compound words like well-known.

In Word?

Do not type bullets manually in Word — press Ctrl+Shift+L for a proper bulleted list, or type * followed by Space. Manual Alt+0149 works but will not align as nicely.

• vs · (middle dot)?

• (U+2022) is the standard bullet for lists. · (U+00B7, middle dot) is smaller and sits mid-line — it separates items within a line rather than starting list rows.

Bigger bullet?

For a larger bullet, just increase the font size of the • character itself. Decorative options like ● (U+25CF) are also in the Symbol Picker.

In Google Docs?

Press Ctrl+Shift+8 or use Format > Bullets & numbering for a real list. For a manual bullet, use Alt+0149 on Windows or Option+8 on Mac.

Copy-paste?

Yes, • copies cleanly everywhere. For documents, a proper list format keeps alignment tidy when text wraps onto the next line.

Conclusion

Alt + 0149 (Windows) or Option + 8 (Mac) is how to type a bullet point, but avoid using these key combinations in Word or Docs. The built in list format is much cleaner than manually inputting bullet symbols.
