To control how the bullet is styled, choose an option from the Character Style
drop-down menu. Choose Inherit from Paragraph to use the paragraph's character
formatting for the bullet, or choose a character style sheet to use that character style
sheet's formatting.
Enter the actual bullet character or characters in the Bullet Characters field.
If you are inheriting the bullet's formatting from the paragraph, you can change the
size of the bullet character or characters using the Size field.
The Outset value controls how far the bullet is from the paragraph. You can specify
this distance in Absolute units, or click Relative (in Ems) and specify the value in em
spaces. The Relative (in Ems) option may be preferable when you will be using the
bullet style with different-sized text.
Bullet outset
Alignment controls how the bullet aligns to the outset point.
Left-aligned, center-aligned, and right-aligned bullets
You can apply a bullet style in three ways:
• By choosing the bullet style's name from the •/123 menu in the
Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you do it
this way, the bullet is positioned to the left of the paragraph's first line indent by
its Outset value.
• By choosing an outline style that uses the bullet style from the •/123 menu in
the Paragraph/Paragraph Attributes tab of the Measurements palette. If you
do it this way, the bullet's position is controlled by the outline style. For more
information, see "Working with outline styles."
• Associate the bullet style with a paragraph style sheet, then apply that style sheet
to the text. For more information, see "Bullets, numbering, outlines, and style sheets."
Working with numbering styles
A numbering style describes how a number should look, what format it should have,
how far it should be from the text, and how it should be aligned.
To create a numbering style, choose Edit > Bullet, Numbering, and Outline Styles,
then choose Numbering Style from the New button in the Bullet, Numbering, and
Outline Styles dialog box. The Edit Numbering Style dialog box displays.
