 why I write Bullet Points?



 LinkedIn ,Emails, Blogs ,Tweeter,  Google+, the Facebook Timeline, and tens of thousands of images pinned to digital boards are flying past us faster than we can read them.
Faster than we can even scan them, depending on the time of day.

Bullet points are a great way to present complex information ,bullet point is supposed to be a short summation of the key point that you want to make.




The purpose of bullet points:
  • Draws attention to important information
  • Improves the ability of the reader to scan information easily
  • Communicates information efficiently

 

 
How to use bullet points:

  • Keep bullet pointed information short; each element in the list should be no more than two lines in length.
  • Use parallel form when constructing bulleted lists. For example, use the same part of speech to begin each bullet.
  •  Make all bullet points approximately the same length and ensure that the format is consistent within each list.
  •  Use a strong heading to group related items together.
  • Use the same font and margin width for each bullet point.
  • Use periods at the end of each line only if they are complete sentences.










As with any formatting technique, overusing bullet points will detract from the overall goal in writing and formatting a business document. Bullet points should highlight important information only. Use them wisely to emphasize key information within the text.
