Bullets in report

I am making a report that I am using as a letter. (I know, Word is used for
letters, but my data is a little more complicated than that and I can't
figure out how to merge it.) In this letter, there is about 3 paragraphs
that has no data so I am making a big label for this section. Can I format
the label to look like 3 different paragraphs or do I have to use 3 different
labels? Can I put bullets or numbers in this label. I tried copying and
pasting from Word but it added a strange character where the tab is. Any
suggestions? Any new thoughts, maybe there is an easier way to do this?
I am new and learning Access, teaching myself. I did find how to put
bullets in a data access page, but this is new to me, should I be using a
data access page for this, or is a report ok?

You can start a new line in a label's Caption by using
Ctrl+Enter. Twice for a paragraph.

Since standard Access controls only allow for a single font
and set of properties, using a bullet depends on whether the
font includes the desired character or not. If it does, you
can enter it by holding the Alt key down and type a 0
followed by the character's Ascii code, but it might be just
as good to settle for using the asterick.
 
Thank you so much, this was very useful information. You guys amaze me with
your knowledge!
