Simply convert bullets to numbering. Note the last number and now change back to bullets.

Look at this also: It allows you to count shapes also - not tested with bullets - Try it

There is no direct way for doing this.

You have to use give one particular style to the bulleted list and then use VBA to count that style.

For now, I can tell u only this. If i get success in making the VBA in MS-Word, i will post it again!!
