Right-click in the left-hand Outline pane and choose Show Formatting. Select the bulleted paragraphs in your notes, right-click and choose Paragraph to change the distance of the bullet from the text. Change both amounts in the Indentation section to the same amount to move the text closer to the bullets. Change the line spacing in an entire document Go to Design Paragraph Spacing. Click next to the text for the bullet you want to change. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, select the arrow next to Multilevel List, and then select Change List Level. Select the level where you want the bullet. Each level has a different bullet style. Click next to the text for the bullet you want to change. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, select the arrow next to Multilevel List, and then select Change List Level. Select the level where you want the bullet. Each level has a different bullet style.

You can change the spacing, size, color, and alignment of bullets, numbers, and letters. Select the list items with the bullets, numbers, or letters you want to change. In the Format sidebar, click the Style button near the top. If the list is in a text box, table, or shape, first click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar, then click the Style button.

You are working with a proportional-spacing word-processing application.
There is no such thing as 'a character space' either :-)

In the modern fonts, applications and printers vary the width of 'spaces' to
line things up. So you cannot depend on a 'character space' being a set
measurement unless you work in a mono-spaced font (a typewriter font).

However, you can define your own bullet format, and if you do, you can
follow the bullet with a 'space' instead of a tab. And if you do that, you
will get one space after each bullet.

And if you change to a monospaced font, that space will be the same width on
each line. Which is what you are after.

First, I would apply the style 'List Bullet' to a paragraph. List Bullet is
a built-in style that you can customise, and it already has a bullet defined
in it. It will not appear in the document until you apply it to some text.

Then select the paragraph and go into
Format>Style>Modify>Format>Numbering... (A bullet is simply a special case
of 'number' to Word).

Now, change the Type to 'Outline Numbered'. Outline numbering has advanced
settings that are not available in the other kinds.

Choose a pattern (any one, but it is best to choose a bulleted pattern so
you do not upset any of the other definitions that may be in use for
something else in your document).

Now, at the bottom left corner of that dialog, you will see a blue
down-arrow. Click it to reveal the advanced settings, and set Follow Number
With to 'Space'.

Make any other settings you want (for example, go into Format>Font and
specify a monospaced font) and OK your way out.

Apply that style to any text you want with spaced bullets.

There: Job's done.

Cheers

Microsoft Word gives option to format bullet or numbered list. You can apply different style on all or individual bullets. Applying few styles to lists in your Word document will standout your work from others.

As you can see below in screenshot, list number 3 & 4 got bit different style of red color and dark shadow. Number 1 and 2 are default black style. Also see the second example list is in customized with different bullets showing morning and evening to-dos. These are just examples but you can do a lot more by playing around and try different styling to it. So lets see how to apply these styles to individual bullets or numbered lists.

• How to customize individual bullets.
• How to use custom icon as bullets.
• How to adjust bullet indent and spacing.

Style Individual Bullet or Number

In you Word document click on Home tab to view common word options related to text and paragraphs.

As shown below in screenshot first, click on marks show hide icon.

When you done selection, change its color or apply some styles to it. You will see it also change the bullet color and style individually.

Use Custom Icon as Bullets

You can use custom icons for bullet lists in Word, as you can see I used arrow icon from my computer and apply it to list. To apply a custom bullet from library or a custom icon from your computer follow the steps below.

First, click inside bullet list and then click on tiny arrow on the right of Bullet list icon. Here you can select any available library bullets to apply or you can define your own bullets like I did. So click on Define New Bullet option and choose a picture / icon from your computer, this will be added to bullet libray.

Here is the output you see icon is applied to the list.
