Graphical Bulleted and Numbered Lists
You can use any graphic for the bullet or number in a list. You can design your own bullets and
numbered lists by using any of the normal drawing or text tools, or use one of the many bullet designs
from the Designs Gallery (under Page Elements > Graphic Elements > Bullets). Create a simple
circle using the Ellipse Tool for example, give it a fill and a drop shadow, and copy it to the clipboard.
Then highlight the list you want to apply the style to using the Text Tool. Right click the list and choose
Paste as list bullet
from the menu. The design will now appear as a bullet for each of the list items.
For a numbered list it's exactly the same procedure except you group a text item with your graphic and
then select Paste as list number
to replace all the numbers or text items in your list. The text object in the group is used to show the
number.
Line spacing
Line spacing allows you to change the space between two
lines (so affects vertical spacing).
Line spacing is measured in percentages (120%) or points (12pt). You can either type the line space
value in the text box or click the arrows to nudge the values.
A percentage setting has the benefit of scaling accordingly if you change your font size. If a percentage is
applied to a line of text with more than one font size, the largest font size is used. For example, if a line
contains 90% and 100% text, the line spacing is calculated on 100%.
Paragraph Spacing
The last two fields on the end of the Text Tool
InfoBar allow you to set the spacing above and/or below
paragraphs.
This is particularly useful where you want half line spaces between paragraphs.
Like Microsoft Word, when you use both spacing above and below paragraphs, the spacing between
paragraphs is whichever is the greater value (it's not cumulative). Paragraph spacing above paragraphs
will move the first paragraph down in a frame of text.
