enhancement request
The default bullets have changed between version 24 and version 25.2.
pouvez-vous remettre les puces par défaut de la version 24 ?
Normalement un changement améliore, mais là c'est le contraire non ?
Dnas la version 24 par défaut on a trois niveau de puce différent trsè pratique pour savoir à quel niveau on se trouve (1 - 2 ou 3), à partir de la version 25 c'est indistinct, on a toujours la même puce quel que soit le niveau... le document perd énormément en lisibilité.

Can you reset the default bullet points from version 24?
Normally, a change improves things, but here it's the opposite, right?
In version 24, by default, we have three different bullet levels, which are very useful for knowing which level we're at (1, 2, or 3). Starting with version 25, they're indistinct; we always have the same bullet point regardless of the level... the document loses a lot of readability.

Yes, default bullet level handling was changed.

You can use the Customize tab of the 'Bullets and Numbering...' dialog and from the Number: -> Bullet, Character style: Bullets and the Special Characters Dialog... char map to create the marker for each indentation level of an unordered list.

The new default of using the same character by default for unordered list is actually more efficient and frankly more appealing.

Users can customize the Unordered list levels if desired, or can use the new unnumbered outline format if that is appealing.

IMHO => WF
