Bullet indentation in 2007

In 2003 when you had a text box of bullets at different levels the ruler
showed all the bullets and you could adjust them all at one time. It seems
in 2007 you only have the option to adjust the indentation of one bullet at a
time. Is this true? With a long bulleted list this is a real pain. Maybe
there is a trick or shortcut I'm not aware of. Can someone help?? Thanks
very much.
 
Yes, with 2007, you can adjust each "paragraph" individually.

If you set the bullet spacing on the slide master, you won't have to go
through it for each individual line on the slide.

You can also select all the text in the textbox and adjust it all at once.
Of course, this isn't ideal if you have different levels of text in the
box....

Right, only one shows at at time because you can only adjust one at a time.

I'd adjust one, then use F4 to repeat the setting on the appropriate lines.

I suspect it was user request. I know a lot of people hated that you
couldn't set the indents and tabs individually for each line -- especially
the tabs....
