How to use

Apply to a range of cells

1. Select the cell range (e.g. B2:B20).
2. DVD Addin → menu Bullets → pick a bullet.
3. Addin prepends the character + space to each cell.

Example before:

1	Excavation
2	Concrete pour
3	Rebar placement

After Bulleted list:

1	• Excavation
2	• Concrete pour
3	• Rebar placement

Toggle checkbox

Cell with ☐ → click V checkbox → becomes ☑. Cell with ☑ → click Empty checkbox → back to ☐.

→ Quick check-off todo workflow in Excel.

Roman / Letter sequence

Select a range + pick Roman uppercase → addin prepends I., II., III., ... in order.

Different from Numbering: bullet only adds a prefix, does NOT write a sequence number to a separate cell. Numbering creates a separate No. column.

Options

Spacing after bullet

Default: bullet + 1 space + content.

In Preferences → change:

• Spacing: / \t (tab) / (2 spaces).
• Format: • content / •content / 1. content / 1) content / [1] content.

Bullet level (for multilevel)

If a cell already has a bullet (e.g. • ), adding level-2 bullet (e.g. ◦) — addin auto-adds indentation:

• Foundation
  ◦ Excavation
  ◦ Lean concrete
• Superstructure
  ◦ Floor 1 columns
  ◦ Floor 1 beams

Suitable for: outlines with indented levels.

Remove bullets

DVD Addin → menu Bullets → Remove Bullets.

Detect and remove bullet characters at the start of each cell in the selected range. Supports all bullet types above.
