Graphic as Bullet

Question

I have used a graphic as a bullet in three different RoboHelp
styles. Two of them work just fine. But one of them causes the
formatting to be inconsistent. The indentation of the paragraph
varies in the generated help, even though the HTML looks the same
(and the topic formatting in the Design tab looks OK).
My help consists primarily of numbered lists (eek!), and the
numbering of the paragraph after the problematic style is affected
in the generated help. Here, too, the HTML looks the same (and the
topic formatting in the Design tab looks OK).
I'm using RoboHelp 7 in the Tech Comm Suite.
If I change the graphic I use for the bullet in this style,
the formatting problems decrease, and the following paragraphs'
numbering problem is fixed. But I LIKE my bullet graphic, and would
like to use it.
Help?
Thanks

Hi there
How exactly have you specified the bullet?
I ask because if you used the CSS file, you will probably see
some odd behavior. I've never been able to make image bullets work
from the CSS file.
The only way I've seen them reliably work is by using the
following steps:
Select the paragraphs that should be bulleted and apply the
bullet.
Select part of the first and part of the last paragraph. Then
right-click the selection and choose "Bullets and Numbering" from
the context menu.
Click the little file browser icon on the lower right, browse
to and select the desired image.
