How it works What the Remove Bullet Points & Numbering tool does

Removes bullets and numbering from the start of lines — “1.”, “2)”, “-”, “•”, “*”, “a)”, “[ ]” — left over from copying lists out of documents, emails or slides.

Lists copied from documents, emails, ChatGPT answers and web pages come with bullets and numbers attached: “1.”, “-”, “•”, “a)”, “[x]”. This removes the marker and the space after it from the start of each line and leaves the text untouched.

Only markers at the very start of a line are removed, so numbers inside the text (“top 10 shoes”) stay where they are.
