typing special characters

[6/24/11] For a while (meaning years) I've been trying to figure out how to insert a bullet point in google docs. When I copy and paste from the Credit Suisse daily report the bullets turn into exclamation points. However once in a while, the copy and paste actually turns into a bullet. So I could copy and paste that, if I could remember in what document it was in.

Anyway, I finally figured out (googled successfully) how to do it. It's ALT-0149. Found from this list.

[4/16/15] Actually, it's easier to type in ALT-7.

[4/6/17] I haven't been able to figure out how to type a bullet point on my HP 2000 laptop (I think it's not possible).  So I would google bullet point and copy and paste from that web page.

Here's another way via this 10 Amazing Websites video.  Go to notengoenie.com and click on the bullet point (the last item on the fifth row).  That copies it to your clipboard.
