Re: Bulleted list Format?

Kirk,

Both are used; it's primarily personal preference. Since you don't have 
a company style guide, create a personal style guide and note which one 
you prefer. If you keep consistent with your own style guide, whichever 
you choose will become the "right" way.

Subject: Bulleted list  Format?

  I know that this isn't a great question, but please give me some 
guidance. I
see two different methods for formatting bullets. From the APA style, 
the
bulleted list is placed flush left with the left-side margin of the
introductory/stem paragraph/sentence. In other documents, I have seen 
the
bulleted list indented from the left-side margin of the 
introductory/stem
paragraph/sentence. I have no corporate style guide from which to work.
Which of these methods is the accepted usage? I've seen both widely 
used.

I think that I know the standard usage of different formatting 
elements, but
then I research and find that formatting isn't as standardized as I 
first
thought.

Thanks for your consideration,
Kirk
