"Bullets & Lists" in Text Options

Hi,
i format some text as "Header", format the text (bold, underline, 18px, and Aphabetic Bullets), see the "Update" button an update the textstyle.
Next step i write a line,mark it and choose textstyle "Header" .
Now its Bold and 18px and underlined but the next Alphabetic Bullet is missing (In these case "B.").
Now i´m looking at the textstyle options and there are no bullets selectet. If i select once more "Alphabetic Bullets" tere ist no "Update" Button appearing.
Whts wrong?
I´m using Mavericks and Pages 5.1 (1769) - No Updates are availible on a late 2013 MB Pro.
Thank you

Because they rewrote Pages as a completely new application to match the iOS version.
They removed over 100 features.
It is really a beta version, but hasn't told its users, and heaven knows what features will eventually be in Pages 5. I don't think even Apple knows.

Bulleted Lists in Text Boxes?

Hi all,
Apologies if this has been asked before - I've searched but to no avail.
Can one, in a text document, have a bulleted list in a text box? I've tried, but when the text to be bulleted in the text box is selected, the toolbar and the 'Format' drop-down menu changes and the 'Bullets On/Off' button is not available.
I've tried customising the toolbars (which I feel I shouldn't have to do anyway), but this doesn't work. I've tried to cut and paste in bulletted points from normal text (which I feel I shouldn't have to do either) but this doesn't work either.
Any suggestions, or is this a bug/feature?
With thanks,
Sean.

If you mean the text function in the drawing toolbar, it isn't possible.
You should use frames.

Change Bullet List Color

I know I've seen and done this before, but spacing at the moment. How do I change the color of a bulleted list? Text is fine, I need the bullets themselves to change color.
Thanks,
Andrew

That's my preferred way. But you can do it with CSS, albeit a kludge -
ul { color:red; }
ul li span { color:black; }
list 1
list 2
list 3
This will give you red bullets and black text.

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag Deb

Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

How to justify the text of a bulleted list

Does anyone know if it is possible to justify the text of a bulleted list in the same way as for a paragraph? I can do it in Microsoft Word but I can't seem to do it in Illustrator.
When I justify the text of a paragraph in Illustrator it works perfectly fine. But when I do it for bulleted text, it gets all weird. Can anyone offer any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it!

The only solution I'm seeing is this older post from CS3 that directs you to use the inDesign text engine.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/467763
Typographically having a bullet list aligned other then flush left rag right seems unnatural. I would like if you could post a screen shot of the Word doc that is aligned the way you envision your text aligning in Illustrator.

Text color changes when more than one color is used in the same paragraph in a bulleted list

I work in a print shop on designers' files preparing them for print. Machine I use is an iMac, plenty of RAM, running Tiger 10.4. Here is my problem: A PC user sent us an InDesign CS3 file. A portion of the text is styled as a bulleted list with character color and bullet (the solid circle) defined as (default) black. However, the style is over-ridden on the bullet and first two words following the bullet with a spot color red, which is present in the Swatches palette (PMS 186). The remainder of the sentence stays black. The text somehow lost this override, and instead of keeping the 2 different colors all the text changed to black. This seems to have occurred when I saved the file on my machine. When I go back and open the original file the text is still colored both red and black. I think that the file was originally an InDesign CS2 file, and could even have been a Indd version 1 or Quark file. Why did the color change with no user intervention? Also, I can't understand why, when the first 2 words are highlighted and changed to red, the bullet also changes to red. (That is good, of course, because that is what we want, but I don't understand how that happens when the character style is black, and I can't even highlight the bullet itself). I sure would appreciate any ideas anyone has on this, I have to try to explain why we printed the text in black when it was supposed to be red and black!

thanks Alan and Bob. Nothing has explained the loss of color so far.
Alan, I will suggest to the designer that she use a nested style. I wonder if that will make the styling more stable moving accross the different platforms.
Bob, I feel like you may have thought, as I did, that hundreds of saves and saved-as and many different applications would have damaged the file, but as you could see by the History, the file was fairly fresh.
There is a very outside chance that I wiped out the style overides by command click but I am really careful and I doubt it.
So I'll thank you both again and check back each day, perhaps this will happen to someone else and become an issue. I have tried to repeat my actions and cause the error again but to no avail.

Rich text is showing up on report but bulleted List is not coming as expected.

Hi there,
 I am using SSRS 2008, I export all of my reports to Word, I have created a report on which i am having a table. each placeholder has mark-up type as "HTML -Interpret HTML Tags as Styles".
I am fetching some rich text from DB and showing it on my page. but when rich text is having some data like below..............
Suppose this the
Rich text copied from WORD document . And there are some nested bullet lists as well here. Check how it is showing up in report.

i.e spaces are not coming(DB text is having many   but report is not picking them), the List is coming one below other without any indentation.
Urgent help needed!
Thanks
Shaikh Sadaf

Hi Shaikh,
The issue is because the web browser's job is to compress multiple sequence space characters into one and therefore all of the leading spaces are removed.
In HTML placeholder, it should be design.
To workaround the issue, we can add one more character at the begin of the multiple sequence space. We can add one more calculated field to do so:
 1. Double-click the dataset.
 2. Go to "Fields" page.
 3. Click "Add" >> "Calculated Field"
 4. Type a filed name, then in the "Field Source", type the following expression:
 =Replace(Fields!originalHTMlField.Value, "> ", ">.")
 NOTE: This expression replaces each first space with a character ".", and set the color to be white(suppose the report's backgroup color is white too. Then, in the report, it seems there is nothing.)
 5. Now, use this new field in the report, and set its Markup type to be "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles".
The multiple sequence space will be displayed as expected.
Sure, this is just a workaroud. We can submit a feedback at

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Bullets & lists (Korean)

When I try to add an additional item in Korean in the "Bullets & Lists", the bullet symbol disappears.
Is there any possible solution for this problem?

If you put the cursor in a text box, you have those options; they represent a kind of formatting that isn't available in a cell of a table.
You can type a bullet into a cell manually, of course.

Bullets & Lists disabled

Does anyone know how to enable Bullets & Lists in Numbers 3.1? When I go to the "Inspector", i.e., Format --> Text, all the control components within the Bullets and Lists section are disabled (i.e., grayed-out). Does anyone know a way to enable them?
-Thanks

Space before a bullet list

Hello,
I would like to add a little more space (like a vertical indent) before the first line of a bullet list.
You can see the text in the screenshot below :
When I change the "Space before" value, it affects also the space in green (2).
How can I adjust the space in red (1) without affect the space in green ?!
Thank you for your kind attention.

A couple of methods come to mind:
Option 1: Use Space After on the paragraph preceeding the list.
Option 2: Use a second bulleted paragraph style for the first line of the bulleted list with space before assigned.
Duplicate the bullet paragraph style
Assign the space before attribute
Set the original bulleted paragraph style as the "next style"
Select all bulleted text, right click on the space before bulleted paragraph style and select the "Apply Style, then next style" option

Bulleted List Alignment Problem when Importing to RH8

I am imported Word 2003 documents into RH8 and my bullets and numbered lists are not aligning correctly. Both are custom styles configured via Outline Numbering and work fine in Word. After importing, each bullet/number has an extra space on the first line so subsequent lines are not aligned. When I reviewed the CSS, the entries for these styles all have a text-indent of -.25, which I am assuming is wrong since the Word ListContinue styles (which display correctly) do not. I pulled the HTML line out of the CSS but everytime I import again, it is reinserted into my custom CSS.
I have attached a screen capture of what it looks like in RH.
I am relatively new to RH, don't know HTML, and no matter where I turn, no one seems able to help. I can get it to work by putting all bulleted and numbered lists into borderless tables bu we have thousands of pages of Word documents we would have to do this to. There has to be a better solution and it is really driving me crazy with frustration. Please, can anyone help me?
thanks!
Kathi

That small indent is the least of the your worries!
When you import ordinary numbered lists, you need to tick this field in RH's Other settings. (Accessed when you click the Edit button in the Import screens.)
If you do not, then what is imported looks like a list but it is not. If you import the document you sent me and press Enter at the end of the list, you will not get another bullet. When you do select that option, you do get another bullet. But see what it does with the list.
Your settings in Word are below and I suspect the extra indent could be resolved by playing with the Bullet Position and Text Position settings. Also try changing the space after from Tab to Space. Tabs are not an HTML concept.
After import, I selected the list and then clicked the new RH8 icon, Create a MultiLevel list. It gave me a numbered list as that was the style I just randomly selected. It did seem to tidy things up so I think using that also needs exploring.
It's a bit stale now but there is an article on my site about numbered and bulleted lists when exporting to Word. It precedes the new Multi Level list functionality but you will see that the conclusion was to that things only worked easily when using the bullet and number icons and the indent icon. I suspect the same is applying to this import. In Word could you not just click the Bullet icon and then the Indent icon as required, rather then create all these List styles. I set up my Word lists to work that way and although I don't import much, it does seem to work.
I realise that doesn't give you a nice concise solution but hopefully it will help you experiment and find one.

Bullets and Numbering "Text After" attribute

Hi Everyone,
I need to grab "Text After" attribute of and existing bullet list in InDesign document and change it to my text. I think, I need to get access to "kBNBulletTextAfterBoss", but I don't know which boss agregates it.
Thanks

I've found it a much better practice, especially in heavily numbered documents, to look for a paragraph style that can be set to start at zero. I usually apply it to any headings or subheadings where the numbering below remains consistent. But that's just my experience.
You can also right click and restrat or continue numbering.

How can I create a bulleted list where each line builds in independently?

I would like to make a bulleted list in my video where each bullet fades in as the person says them in the video (it is not at a constant rate). So far the only way I've accomplished this is to stack 6 or 7 of the 'Fade' title generators on top of eachother and adjust the length of them to match the audio. It seems like there must be a better way to do this as this solution is quite combersum when trying to align all the bullets (wish there was a bullet format in the text formatting box) and it uses a lot of computing power to make adjustments on so many generators. Thanks.

I am sure there is a way to do this in FCP or Motion. However, what I do is to build my bulleted list in Keynote against a green background. Set up the Keynote presentation as 1920x1080.
I then use it in FCP or iMovie as a greenscreen effect.
After creating the bullets in Keynote, I export them as a QuickTIme Movie with a timed advance. I then import the QuickTime movie and edit it as I need it.
Keynote has dozens of text effects and builds, including the fade that you need.
Here is a quick and dirty sample.

Bulleted lists - how can I use a bullet that I want

Having made the effort to switch to Pages, I'm beginning to find a number of features that make me long Word!
Some of the Pages interface design feels very rough -- like they just gave up before the end. Such an example of this is the relatively simple (in Word) task of making your own text bullet using a dingbat or symbol. This seems utterly impossible in Pages '09! I have spent over an hour struggling to get Pages to accept my preferred bullet. However, it refuses to allow any attempts I make change the bullet. It seems stuck in some font that is not correct for the bullet I want. But the bullet does not 'inherit' the font face attributes when you paste in your desired one.
I would like some details instructions (preferably from Apple -- chance would be a fine thing!) on how to select and enter my desired Wingdings character as a bullet.
As a last resort, I created a list in the style I wanted in Word (NOTE: a mere four minute job, Apple). I then tried to open the resulting .DOC file into Pages'09. But I guess it detected that I was attempting to circumvent its vice like control on MY lists, and so failed to open the document.
Any help with this matter would be gratefully received.
A.

Hi Andrew
Seems like you have noticed that Pages is not Word!
Ah, change can be hard.
First starting with the impossible (text bullet):
+Inspector > Text > List > Bullets and Numbering > Text Bullets/Image Bullets/Custom Image…+
*Text Bullets* lets you choose any Unicode character as your bullet, either selecting from the short list offered or by simply pasting in the character you want.
You can find the standard Unicode dingbats in:
+Menu > Edit > Special Characters > View: All Characters > Symbols+
Specialist fonts are here but will probably not display correctly if they are not Unicode.
+Menu > Edit > Special Characters > View: PiFonts > PiFonts > Font: If you have WebDings it will be here+
*Image Bullets* does exactly what it says taking any of the supplied images as bullets and scaling them accordingly.
*Custom Image…* lets you browse to find an image from your drive and use that scaled appropriately as a bullet.
You may have had problems using WingDings because it is not to my knowledge a Unicode font and its glyphs are arbitrarily located within the font according to older encodings.
You can get around this by making a text box typing your WingDings dingbat into it and then copying the box and going to the Preview application where by going command N you create a new .pdf file containing your textbox.
Trim the .pdf using the crop tool and save the .pdf which is now a graphic file and can be used with CustomImage… as a bullet.
It is best to make sure your graphic is tightly cropped to just the image itself and if it is too difficult in Preview, it is better done in a drawing program.
*Creating a list style in Pages* is as simple as creating an example of what you want then whilst selected adding it to your Styles in the Style Drawer:
+Menu > View > Show Style Drawer > click on the little down pointing triangle next to the List styles > Create New List Style from Selection+
I don't know what format you saved your word document in so can't comment on why or how it didn't open. Pages doesn't open Word templates for a start, there could be other reasons.
Now that did not come from Apple that came from your fellow users. As you may have noticed entering the forums, Apple puts up the site but does not frequent it.

How do I format bullet lists in the Notes tab?

I have a transcript of the audio narration in the Notes section of my source PowerPoint slides. When I publish with Adobe Presenter, these transcripts appear in the Notes tab in the published course. However, when I publish my course, any bullet lists that I may have formatted in the Notes view in PowerPoint, do not format correctly in the published course. The text of the bullets is there, but the bullet formatting is missing.
I am using Adobe Presenter 8, PowerPoint 2007, and I'm running on Windows 7 Professional. I have tried saving my PowerPoint file in the PPTX format and in the older PPT format. Neither retains the bullet-list formatting in the published course.
Is there a trick to getting lists to format correctly in the Notes tab?
-Ray

Hello,
