Bullet Alignment not Centred with Text
Hi all,
I have set up my List Bullets properly from a reference from this site so that I only need to change the levels (Alt Shift ). This has been working great and has saved me HOURS. However, when I made a bulletin with font size 26, the bullets do not line up with the mid-point (centre of the text), it is very close to the bottom of the text. I tried using Font-Char Spacing-Lowered, but that doesn't do the trick (W2K). Any suggestions on how to get the bullet to line up with the centre of the text (e.g., instead of looking like this "_blah blah" it looks like this "-blah blah")? tia, klam |

You need to raise the bullet a little. On the Bullets and Numbering dialog,
select Customize, then Select Font. On the Character Spacing tab, select Raised from the Position drop-down. Experiment to find the right amount. "klam" wrote in message ...

Hi Jezebel,
Thx a mint...it worked of course. My little mind had tried "Lower" with the text but could not think of trying applying "Raised" to the bullet. You've done it again! cheers, klam "Jezebel" wrote: You need to raise the bullet a little. On the Bullets and Numbering dialog, select Customize, then Select Font.
