Edit Bullet Style dialog box
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 Home tab or 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.
