How do you create a bulleted list in Illustrator CS6?

I want the bullet to remain with the text like it would in a MS Word bulleted list.

Thanks!

    As mentioned Illustrator does not have a style of bulletted list. Thanks to some great typographical control you can create this using firs line indent (I set mine to -4.5 pt for this typeface & point size). This will give you hanging bullets, though if you change your type, that -4.5 would have to change.

    Yeah... lithographers used to set type by hand too.  Illustrator needs to do some catching up.

    Illustrator doesn't do automatic bullets. You'll need to type a bullet and tab for each bulleted line, and then adjust the indents in the tab panel. Note that in Illustrator (unlike InDesign), you have to add a tab marker in addition to the indent.
