Bullet & Text combo

From: Fumei2 via OfficeKB.com on 8 Mar 2010 15:37 "Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?" Actually...there is. Make a graphic with a red arrow and the text IMPORTANT. Save it. Import it as the bullet picture. Voila. The graphic IS the bullet, and the graphic has the red arrow and "IMPORTANT". You can make any graphic (image file) into a bullet. Please note that you will undoubtedly have to fiddle a bit to determine the pixel size to use. That will take some testing....AND...what actually is there will be affected by the current printer driver. In other words, it may NOT look the same on another machine.

From: Stefan Blom on 9 Mar 2010 05:19 Maybe my reply was a bit unclear. By "bullet character" I meant any symbol that you can add as a character from a font, including the arrows that you mentioned in your message. In contrast, "picture bullet" (in Word terminology) is an actual picture/graphic inserted as a bullet; from Word 2003 (2002?), picture bullets can be added to a style definition. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

From: Stefan Blom on 9 Mar 2010 09:15 Good idea (with certain limitations that you have already mentioned). I belive the workaround suggested by "vttotal" would be easier, though. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Fumei2 via OfficeKB.com" <u53619(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a4b7961ff2f23(a)uwe... > "Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a > bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?" > > Actually...there is. > > Make a graphic with a red arrow and the text IMPORTANT. > > Save it. > > Import it as the bullet picture. > > Voila.
