Bullet points are a useful format to form a simple list that is easy to read and check. Instead of writing a long paragraph for making several points, a bullet list could make them appear more compact while retaining the key information. Besides, it may also save you printer ink in the long run.

Google Docs allows you to create a bullet list in a document, whether it’s a blank new document or existing ones. Here’s how to insert bullet points in Google Docs desktop.
