I have a bulleted list in an Outlook 2010 email and I am trying to paste a newline-separated list of text items into one of the bullets. When I do this, it's bulleting each line and I don't want it to do that. What I want it to do is treat each line as if I were pressing SHIFT+ENTER.

I've tried searching for the character control code that's generated on SHIFT+ENTER, but I have been unsuccessful. If I could find that, I could paste the text into Notepad++ and replace CRLF with that character and then, theoretically, I'd be able to paste it into the bullet without issue.

Here is the solution:

  1. In your list item press SHIFT+ENTER to insert a line break (soft).
  2. Paste you list.
  3. Select all pasted contents (auto-created list items) excluding the last line.
  4. Press CTRL+H (Replace dialog).
  5. Type ^p as a Find what and ^l as a Replace with.
  6. Click the Replace All button.
