Fun With Bullet Points – The Toyota Way

Jenny Hardy - March 12th, 2009

For anybody reading the Toyota Way Field book, I have made some bullet points for you to use, a circle with four quadrants. I have found them particularly useful as, I want to break down the training goals into clearly definable tasks and make them tie in with the Multifunction Training Time Table (chapter 11, p 225-258).

The Training Timetable is a useful tool in giving an overview of all staff, their skills and importantly where they are in their training. Using the bullet points will help me along with the timetable to make visual indications of the requirements needed to achieve professional standards.

These bullet points can be imported into Word and Pages, I have described the process below.

Word Instructions

First right click on the images in this post and download the files I have made to your computer, Save them in Applications > Microsoft Office folder > Clipart > Bullets

In Word > Format > Bullets and Numbering. Select a bullet you wish to change and click Customise. Select picture and find the bullet point you want to use, select it and click OK.

The bullet will appear on your document where you have the cursor. Customise the remaining bullets for the remaining images. Remember to customise the bullets on the Bullets and Numbering window NOT customise the images to one of the bullet options, otherwise Word will change all of the bullets in your document to the same image.

To add a bullet to your document Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin click the bullet point button in the toolbar. To choose your custom image, open it, in the Formatting Palette, this can be found in View.

Pages Instructions

Right click and save the images.

On the Pages document, Place the insertion point where you want the list to begin.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click List.
Choose a bullet style from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu. 
To use your own image as a bullet, choose Custom Image and choose an image in the Open dialog that appears.
