When I write things in word, I often want to paste something, and have it be under a bullet point and have line breaks. I can do this manually with Shift-Enter, is there anyway I can select a bunch of bulleted items and do this in an automated way?

IE:

Turn:

  • foo
  • bar
  • baz

Into:

  • foo
    bar
    baz

Select the text and Find-Replace (Ctrl+H) ^p with ^l. Might have to re-bullet the 1st one afterwards though.

Good enough for me, thanks! – Kyle Brandt Sep 3 '09 at 15:59

+1 for Bonus's solution. To prevent re-bulleting the first one just start your selection from the end of the first line - in your example that would mean immediately after the second 'o' in 'foo'.
