Adding dotted letters to your Google Docs document can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your writing. Whether you’re creating a formal letter, a marketing brochure, or a personal journal, dotted letters can help your words stand out from the page. While Google Docs doesn’t offer a dedicated feature for adding dotted letters, there are a few simple workarounds that you can use to achieve the desired effect.
The first method involves using the Unicode character set. Each character in the Unicode set is assigned a unique code, and the dotted letters have their own unique codes as well. To add a dotted letter to your document using this method, simply type the Unicode code for the desired letter into the document. For example, to add a dotted “a,” you would type “U+00E1.” After typing the code, press the “Enter” key and the dotted letter will appear.
While the Unicode method is effective, it can be a bit tedious to type in the codes for each letter. For a more convenient option, you can use a Google Docs add-on called “Better Font Picker.” This add-on provides a user-friendly interface for selecting and inserting dotted letters into your document. To use the add-on, simply install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace and then open the “Add-ons” menu in Google Docs. From the menu, select “Better Font Picker” and then choose the desired dotted letter from the list. The dotted letter will be inserted into your document at the current cursor position.
Enabling the “Dotted” Font Style
To enhance the visual appeal and add a touch of creativity to your Google Docs documents, you can employ the “Dotted” font style. This unique style adorns letters with evenly spaced dots, creating a charming and playful aesthetic. Enabling this font style is a simple process that can be accomplished in just a few steps:
1. Install the “Dotted” Font
The “Dotted” font is not a default font in Google Docs. Therefore, you must first install it on your computer. You can find and download the font from various sources, such as Google Fonts or dafont.com.
Once you have downloaded the font, proceed to install it by double-clicking on the downloaded file. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
2. Select the Text and Choose the “Dotted” Font
With the “Dotted” font installed, open your Google Docs document and select the text you wish to transform. Then, navigate to the font menu located in the toolbar.
In the font drop-down menu, scroll through the list until you find the “Dotted” font. Select the font name to apply it to your selected text. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F (Cmd + Shift + F on Mac) to open the font selection menu.
Customizing the Dotted Font
Once you have applied the “Dotted” font, you can customize its appearance to suit your preferences. Here are a few ways to modify the font:
Property | How to Adjust |
---|---|
Font Size | Adjust using the font size drop-down menu or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + [ (Cmd + [ on Mac) and Ctrl + ] (Cmd + ] on Mac) to increase or decrease the size. |
Dot Density | Not customizable within Google Docs. |
Text Color | Select a color from the text color drop-down menu or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + C (Cmd + Shift + C on Mac) to open the color selection menu. |
Bold and Italic | Use the bold and italic buttons in the toolbar or the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + B (Cmd + B on Mac) and Ctrl + I (Cmd + I on Mac). |
Customizing the Dotted Line Thickness
Once you’ve selected the dotted line style, you can further customize its appearance by adjusting the dotted line thickness. Here’s how:
-
Select the dotted line. Click on the dotted line to select it. You will notice small squares (handles) appear at both ends of the line.
-
Go to the “Format” menu. Once the dotted line is selected, go to the “Format” menu in the top menu bar.
-
Select “Line weight.” In the “Format” menu, hover over “Line weight” and a submenu will appear.
-
Choose a line thickness. The submenu will present a range of line thicknesses, such as “0.5pt,” “1pt,” “2pt,” and so on. Select the desired thickness for your dotted line.
-
Preview the thickness. As you hover over each line thickness option, the dotted line will update to show a preview of the new thickness. This allows you to visualize the effect before applying it.
-
Apply the thickness. Once you have chosen the desired thickness, click on the option to apply it to the dotted line.
By following these steps, you can easily adjust the dotted line thickness in Google Docs and customize the appearance of your lines to suit your needs.
Here’s a table summarizing the steps for customizing the dotted line thickness:

If you encounter difficulties finding dotted letters, try using table symbols. Insert a small table with one row and one column, and place the dotted letter in the cell. Resize the cell to fit the letter.
12. Utilize Google Drawings
For more control and customization, use Google Drawings to create custom dotted letters. Insert a drawing object into your document and design the letters using the shape tools. Copy and paste the letters back into your document.
13. Insert Unicode Characters
If you know the Unicode code for the dotted letter you want, you can insert it directly into the text. For example, to insert a dotted letter “A,” use the Unicode character “⡻”.
14. Use Third-Party Add-ons
Explore third-party add-ons for Google Docs that provide a wider range of dotted letter options. Search for add-ons that offer custom bullet lists or symbol libraries.
15. Experiment with Font Styling
Try different font styles, such as italic, bold, or underline, to enhance the appearance of the dotted letters and create visual interest.
16. Utilize Conditional Formatting
If you want to apply dotted letters only to specific parts of the list, use conditional formatting. Create a rule to change the bullet style based on specific conditions, such as text color or font size.
17. Use Headers and Footers
Add dotted letters to headers or footers to create a consistent and visually appealing document layout. Insert a dotted letter as a text object in the header or footer.
18. Combine with Other Elements
Pair dotted letters with other design elements, such as colored text, borders, or images, to enhance the overall visual experience of your document.
19. Consider Accessibility
Ensure accessibility by providing sufficient color contrast between the dotted letters and the background. Use high-contrast colors to make the letters clearly visible for all users.
20. Save as a Template
To reuse your custom dotted letter style, save it as a template. Go to the “File” menu, select “Save as new template,” and give your template a name.
21. Advanced Customization with HTML
For even more advanced customization, you can use HTML to create custom bullet points with dotted letters.
Create a new document in Google Docs and switch to the HTML editing mode by clicking “File” > “Download” > “Web Page (.html, zipped).”
In the HTML code, locate the following section:
“`html
“`
Edit the “list-style-type” property under “li” to use a dotted letter symbol. For example, to use the dotted letter “A,” use the following code:
“`html
li {
list-style-type: a counter(dot-a, lower-alpha);
}
@counter-style dot-a {
system: fixed;
symbols: none;
prefix: “a. “;
}
“`
Save the document as an HTML file, reopen it in Google Docs, and you will see the dotted letter “A” applied to each bullet point.
This advanced method allows you to have complete control over the font, size, position, and other formatting options of the dotted letters.
