Did this for 5 years straight. I always wondered, which was the original document that had this? Like a sourdough starter.

I've googled for this answer for months. Thank you. This is such a little thing, but such a big victory for me.

This is like the most useful thread. At my first firm it was on the editing tool bar in word. I thought that was just a feature of word until I moved firms lol

Ctrl+Alt+B in some computers

I just bracket the symbol

Control shift b

Set yourself a shortcut. I use ctrl alt s

Got to Insert - Symbol - find the bullet - go to Assign Key - Ctr + Alt + K is the best. Save it. Then when you type , open bracket, press ctl+alt+k, close bracket.

You could also code it into your Word and it would the brackets automatically and highlight the bullet in blue.

Very Noob question: First year here that has done DD for a couple of deals representing the seller now. Essentially all I did was note whether certain agreements have change of control provisions, and if so, what the specific language is. I understand what the CoC do, but why am I doing this? Specifically, what does the buyer do with this? It seems like these provisions should trigger but nothing then happens...
