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 •/123 menu in the 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.
