Custom bullets
Hi folks,
Sorry if this has been covered before, I'm good at repeating things or stating the bleeding obvious. Bulleted lists. can one use a custom bullet e.g. a jpg or other pic? You can in Word, I did, imported it in a text file into a text box, and Publisher (2003|7) forgot them. -- -- If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get just what you asked for, but maybe not what you wanted! Do not say it cannot be done, rather what you need to do it! |

Custom bullets
In Publisher you will have to create/insert an image and resize it small. There
are many symbols you can use as bullets. You can find dingbats all over the web. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "GbH" wrote in message ...

I found where I can select the bullet character from a list of available characters but not where to select a custom character/symbol. -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |

Custom bullets
You don't persuade. You insert the bullet as a picture, probably the best way
would be to use a table. Or line the bullets up, group them, add the text. It will be a trial and error in spacing. That is why Publisher is a layout application, you can do this sort of creating. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "GbH" wrote in message ... "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...

You can use any dingbat as a bullet, you just can't use images in the same way.
Word allows you to change images into bullets. You can change the color of the bullet symbols. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "GbH" wrote in message ... "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
