Under what circumstances would Microsoft Word apply a bullet point to the first paragraph ABOVE the selection I have highlighted for bulleting?

How do I force Word to apply bullets the way I want them?

If you just highlight the paragraph incorrectly bulleted and unbullet it?

You might have used shift+enter instead of just enter?

If you want to make your own bullets use Alt+7 - but you can't 'force' Word afaik.

Then I am back where I started, and the section I highlighted still does not have bullet points applied to it?

I might have at that. Gosh, thank you, I shall take a look.

@SP - that's what we're here for?

OK so I added eyebrows. Better? What did you see?

I saw bullet points in parentheses.

I would go with Doo's suggestion. Shift enter would do it too.
