Thanks p45cal and snb for your replies much appreciated.

I have found success with p45cal's first reply when opening a blank template. Populating the list works perfectly as I want. Unfortunately it does not work with my template which has a 2 row 1 column table with the bulleted list in the second row, the first row is just a heading, I should have made this clear in my original post. Is there anyway to place the start point in the second row?

I am sorry for the cross post, I am new to this and was not aware of the rules. Thank you for pointing this out to me and I will refrain in future.
