Bullet point format

I would like make it single spacings through out my page. When bullet
point list is selected, an extra row is created after the text. To
explain, I typed 5 words which start at the left side. Then I pressed
return. At that point, it is single spacing. Then I select 'Bullets'
and automatically an extra row is inserted. I've checked Paragraph
Properties and all are set to '0' and single spacing. Please can you
advise.

Thank you in advance.
 
Don't press RETURN. Bullets by definition always start from next line. By
pressing return, you are effectively inserting a line break which is not
necessary.

Just tried that, but if I type my first few words, not press Return, the
press Bullets, it indents those first few words and adds a bullet in
from of them. I wanted the bullets to start on the line underneath. Am
I doing something wrong?
 
Try SHIFT+ENTER.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

No.
Open a new page.
Click in the Design Pane (I always use Split view)
Click the Bullets toolbar button - a bullet appears in the Design Pane
Type:
The first <return>
The second <return>

where <return> is the enter key.

The result in code view is:

<body>

<ul>
<li>the first</li>
<li>the second</li>
<li></li>
</ul>

</body>

with the curser ready to type the third bullet point.

In the Design pane, the lines are consecutive, with no gap between them.

If the lines have a large space (=to an empty line) then either you have
some CSS defining line spacing, or the code view is not as above. What do
you see in code view (or the code pane in Split view)?

In design pane I have:
<p>Please note:</p>
<ul> (...this is the line that I am unable to remove)
<li>this is the text that start with bullet points</li>

Where <ul> is shown above ... this is the line that I am unable to remove
 
Don't touch that line - it is part of the list.
A complete list in code view will be similar to:

<ul>
<li>first item</li>
<li>second item</li>
<li>third item</li>
</ul>


<ul> is the opener for an Unordered List
<li> is the LIst element (closed with </li>
</ul> closes the Unordered List

If the space between <p>Please note:</p>
and the first list item is too large, then close it using CSS to decrease or
remove the margins:

<p style="margin-bottom: 0;">Please note:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0;">
<li>first bullet point</li>
