RH9: Same old story; can't get image bullets to display

Question

Using TCS3, FM10, RH9 in Windows XP.
I have custom bullets that I would like to use for my bulleted lists.  No matter what I do in the CSS, I still get the standard black bullets. (I know I should be grateful for any bullets at all, but I would really like my blue bullets.) My blue bullets are in my project as both images and baggage files.
Here's what my CSS looks like for one of my bullets:
P.Bullet2 {
font-family: Tahoma;
margin-top: 7pt;
margin-bottom: 7pt;
font-size: 11pt;
margin-left: 0.5pt;
color: #000000;
list-style: url(hollow_blue_bullet.png);
LI.p-Bullet2 {
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 11pt;
color: #000000;
list-style: url(hollow_blue_bullet.png);
I have created a test project and linked it with a CSS where I have stripped out the Bullet2 tags.  I thought if I stripped it out, I could rebuild it.  I also deleted the Bullet2 style in RH. So I no longer have a FM Bullet2style mapped to a RH Bullet2 style.
I then created a Bullet2 style in RH with the formatting including my blue bullet.  However, I don't have the Bullet2 RH style to map to anymore.
Here are my question:
How do I get a new style to become available to map to?
How do I get my unordered lists to have image bullets?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I felt I owed it to all of my followers to let everyone know that I finally got my customized bullets.  I worked with someone who had far more experience than I do in CSS and even he was baffled by how RH chose to interpret the CSS.
Here is the workaround that we came up with to get customized solid blue bullets for a first level indent ( fondly known as Bullet1):
For all of you newbies, like me, the following just formats the text of the bullet, not the bullet itself. The margin-left has to do with the amount of space between the text and the bullet.
P.Bullet1 {
font-family: Tahoma;
margin-top: 7pt;
margin-bottom: 7pt;
font-size: 11pt;
margin-left: 5pt;
LI{
list-style-image: url(new_blue_bullet.png);
list-style-position: outside;
margin-left: -15pt;
Note: LI above refers to the bullet itself (LI means list item).  This is saying when there is only a list item, give it a bullet that is blue, place the bullet outside of the text and indent the bullet -15pts from the left margin.
The following formats the second bullet level, also affectionately known as Bullet2. Again, this is just formatting the text of the bullet. Since they are similar, I supposed you could group Bullet1 and Bullet2 together, but I wasn't about to bring all this crashing down after so much work:
P.Bullet2 {
font-family: Tahoma;
margin-top: 7pt;
margin-bottom: 7pt;
font-size: 11pt;
margin-left: 5pt;
The following means (read it from right to left) a list item in an unordered list that is contained in another unordered list. This will format all instances where that hierarchy occurs.
UL LI UL LI{
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 11pt;
font-style: normal;
list-style-image: url(new_hollow_bullet.png);
list-style-position: outside;
margin-left: 5pt;
The next bit of CSS means a list item in an unordered list that is contained in an ordered list, for example, a bulleted list for a step. This will format all instances where this happens:
OL UL LI{
font-family: Tahoma;
font-size: 11pt;
font-style: normal;
list-style-image: url(new_hollow_bullet.png);
list-style-position: outside;
margin-left: 5pt;
Again, many thanks to all of you who laughed, cried, and stood on the ledge with me during this excruciating process.  I sure hope the Adobe folks were following this thread.  A heck of a lot of you looked at it.
If I could, I would give myself a star for this one as the correct answer.
