- In short
- Adds bullet markers to text in the selected cells. In-place bulleted text. Nothing in the source moves; a single Undo Last reverses the whole run. Everything runs on your computer, with no internet involved.
What it is for
Add Bullets is used to prepend a bullet character to each cell's text.
When to use it
Most useful when you need to turn a list column into a bulleted list.
Example scenarios

What it needs
A range and an options dialog (type/skip-existing/skip-formulas); merged rejected. Supported data types: text, number, date (by selection).

- On the XLMind Data tab, open the Practical Tools menu in the Practical group and choose Add Bullets.

Effect on your data and undo
Add Bullets writes the result over the cells you selected. If it is not what you wanted, Undo Last restores the previous state.
How it differs from similar tools
Where manual cleanup goes cell by cell, this runs one complete pass and leaves a single, fully reversible change behind.
Good to know
Merged cells rejected.
Limitations
Merged cells rejected.
