I am interested in using bullet points that are numbered in sequence within a
coloured (and filled) circle. It is easy enough to make the solid circle
bullet points, but is there any way that they can be numbered and
automatically number in sequence by default?
 
Terry,
Format the circle with fill and the numbering the way you like, right-click
and choose set as default AutoShape. That should work for the current
presentation, not for a new one.

Here is a quick workaround
Use regular numbered points for your pearls of wisdom.
Create a colored squircle of your choice (no numbers in it)
Drag it over the number 1 and send-to-back.
Duplicate and align and distribute vertically.
There you have it.
The above needs manual positioning, the below doesn't

If you intend to do this regularly then write a VBA routine to do the
following manual sequence (which is another workaround, by the way,
that takes care of no matter what your numbered list looks like)
Duplicate your numbered list (the entire text box)
Change to bullets using the bullet of your choice.
Change the font color to White (optionally, or you can use another
color to get a nice colored shadow)
Align the two text boxes middle and center and send the bulleted text
box to the back.
There you have it again.
Note that if your pearls of wisdom text needs changing, then you need
to change both lists identically, or delete the bulleted list and do
the above again (or run the macro you niftily created)

Heres some vba that may help

Sub bullix()
Dim i As Integer
With ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange
For i = 1 To .Lines.Count
With .Lines(i).ParagraphFormat.Bullet
..Font.Name = "Wingdings"
..Character = 139 + i
..Font.Color = vbRed
End With
Next i
End With
End Sub

Don't know what to do with it?
