Bullets and Numbering Features in MS Word
Bullets and Numbering feature:
Word has a facility to automatically apply numbers and bullet points to paragraphs. If you enter a number, the next consecutive number is applied to the next paragraph. The advantage of using the automatic numbering feature is that the numbers will automatically change when paragraphs are inserted, deleted or reordered in the numbered section of text.
Where sequential numbering is required but not all paragraphs are to be numbered, select all of the paragraphs starting from the one where numbering begins to the one where numbering ends. Apply numbering to all of the paragraphs, then switch it off on the paragraphs where it is not required by selecting the paragraph(s) and clicking the Numbering button.

Just type a number for numbered lists or for bullet points.
