Bullet Points in Illustrator
How to add bullet points / list formating in AI?
They say press option-8: I only get "{"
In Illustrator I am getting bullets when I do not want them.
When I format using the Text ruler, when I type a dash it's turning the bullet feature on.

To turn it off, Check out Preferences > Type. You will find it there.
