You could try columns. With continuous section breaks (Insert > break) you can have a portion of the page in columns and the rest normal.

Or you could use table columns. I just tried putting bulleted text within a table and got slightly odd results. It might also depend on the version, which you didn't give.

You can't do it with Word bullets.

Paragraphs (and each item in a list is a paragraph) spread across the entire available width. By definition a new paragraph starts a new line.

If you use columns, paragraphs flow down one column then down the next, not side to side. I suppose you could, in theory, get the effect with multiple continuous sections but, as with the table (see below), you would not have a proper list.

The best way to get the EFFECT is with a table and a single bulleted item in each cell but this is not a list and you can not add items in the middle and have the rest flow as you want.

Enjoy,
Tony
