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 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 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.
