okay, let's dive into the various ways to decrease the space between a bullet point and the associated text in google docs, along with detailed explanations and examples, including how to potentially use code (google apps script) for more advanced or automated control.
*understanding the problem*
the space between a bullet point and the text is controlled by a combination of paragraph indentations, tab stops, and list formatting settings. sometimes, the default values don't provide the look you desire, making the text feel too far away from the bullet. it can occur with standard bulleted lists or numbered lists, and this guide will cover both.
*methods to decrease bullet-text spacing*
we'll cover the primary methods in detail, starting with the simplest and most common:
1. *adjusting indents using the ruler (most common and easiest)*
this is the most intuitive and frequently used method.
*select the list:* click and drag to select the entire bulleted or numbered list you want to modify. if you only want to change a specific paragraph, just place the cursor in that paragraph.
*show the ruler:* if you don't see the ruler at the top of your google docs page, go to **view show ruler**.
*locate the indent markers:* on the ruler, you'll typically see two (or sometimes three) indent markers for a bulleted or numbered list:
*first line indent (triangle on top):* controls the position of the bullet itself.
*hanging indent (triangle on bottom):* controls the position of the text following the bullet. this is the key one we'll be adjusting.
*(rarely present) left indent (rectangle):* if you see a rectangle, it moves both the first line and hanging indents together.
*adjust the hanging indent:* click and drag the bottom triangle (hanging indent) *leftwards*. as you drag, you'll see the text move closer to the bullet. adjust it until you achieve the desired ...
