Thanks Excavator.
The new code you posted is thankfully keeping the bullet points away from the buttons in the header, but I'm still having the same problems with the text not receiving the bullet point, getting pushed to the left edge, losing their styling tweaks, etc.
That page you provided the link to is interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to make use of it with my problem. I couldn't find anything existing in the code that had a "p" CSS element (unless I'm glazing over something or misunderstanding), and when trying to stick those more specific element choices they noted somewhere in the code, I still can't get things right...
I've pasted the code below as I currently have it for one of the pages I need bullet points for, except all the text/file names/etc. have been changed to generic. Are you getting this same problem on your end? What should I change? Thank you...

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be
added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
