ParagraphStyle defaultStyle = new ParagraphStyle { FontColor = Color.Black, FontName = "Arial", FontSize = 10 };

Step 4: Create Outline Elements with Bullets

// Initialize OutlineElement class objects and apply bullets
OutlineElement outlineElem1 = new OutlineElement(doc) { NumberList = new NumberList("*", "Arial", 10) };
RichText text1 = new RichText(doc) { Text = "First", ParagraphStyle = defaultStyle };
outlineElem1.AppendChildLast(text1);
// Repeat for other outline elements

Step 5: Add Outline Elements to the Outline

// Add outline elements
outline.AppendChildLast(outlineElem1);
// Repeat for other outline elements

Step 6: Add Outline to the Page

// Add Outline node
page.AppendChildLast(outline);

Step 7: Add Page to the Document

// Add Page node
doc.AppendChildLast(page);

Step 8: Save the OneNote Document

dataDir = dataDir + "ApplyBulletsOnText_out.one"; 
doc.Save(dataDir);
Console.WriteLine("\nBullets applied successfully on a text.\nFile saved at " + dataDir);
