Square Bullet in Keynote

How can I get a SQUARE BULLET to appear in the drop-down list of Text Bullets in Keynote's Text Inspector?
(I have read earlier threads on creating an image or selecting text from Special Characters ... that's not what I am looking for here.)
I have an existing piece of text in my Keynote presentation that has this text Square Bullet. Like this:
This Square Bullet behaves in all ways like a standard text bullet (i.e., I can size it, color it, set its indent, etc.) However, I cannot find a way to add this shape of bullet to other text blocks. I have saved this piece of text and copy/edit it when I need a square bullet but I'd rather see the square bullet as a choice in the drop-down. Is there some way to get it to appear there?
Thanks!
(Keynote 5.3 on OS 10.8.5)

Short answer: You can't. Selecting images for bullets only works on the Mac.
However, if you have both Keynote '09 for OSX and Keynote for iOS, you can create a dummy Keynote presentation on the Mac and add any modified bullets you need to it and then copy the Keynote dummy to your iPad using iTunes or Dropbox and then use this file on your iPad as a sort of scrap yard for bullet parts - you can open it on the iPad, COPY a slide that has the bullets that you like, close that file, open the file you want the bullets to appear and PASTE the slide. The bullets with the graphic elements you want will now behave as bullets on your iPad. Or...
If you only want the bullets, not the background slide, select the text box containing the bullets and COPY, then PASTE the Text Box where you want it on your own slide.
You may have to fiddle with fonts.
Messy, but works.
Good Luck.

XSL-FO square bullet HEX Code

I am working on XSL-FO and HEX code "▪" for small black square is not working correctly. It is being replaced by "#" in my PDF output. Is there a place in the ckeditor files where we need to add this HEX code to work? Or if someone knows other HEX codes for square bullet that work in XSL_FO.
Thanks in Advance!!

Anybody have any ideas?

Web-help output - square bullets issue (firefox)

RoboHTML 8.02
Webhelp Ouput
Firefox v3.6.15
I wonder if anyone has come up with a fix for square bullets not being displayed in Firefox correctly.
I've created some lists using the multi level list styles which work perfectly.
The bullet list display great in all browsers apart from firfox. The issue is square bullets being displayed as § symbols.
The obvious fix is not to use square bullets
Or to use a image for square bullet but that may render differently in print.
I'd rather find a workaround using the default bullets.
Appreciate it is a firefox issue rather than Robohelp specfic. But sure someone out there has a solution?
I'm fiddling round with styles to try and sort it out but would appreciate any advice.
thanks
Craig

Pages - Square bullets

Hey community,
I am trying to use square style bullets for my lists. I am using most recent version of Pages. I think it is 4.0.5. When I select Text Bullets, there is no option for square bullets which seems odd to me because the Microsoft Office Suite has them. I have found the square bullet design under Special Characters but I don't know how to implement them as a formatted bullet. Is there a way to add bullet styles to the text bullet library in Pages? Any advice on how I can use square bullets in Pages would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Pierce

Space between bullets in Keynote '09

I have a problem with the space of the bullets, I have this
!http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VPfv-4tOgdw/S8IqXyuNMQI/AAAAAAAAASo/-t5vaGNBVeI/s912/Capt ura%20de%20pantalla%202010-04-11%20a%20las%2014.59.41.png!
I want an animation by bullets but in the animation Keynote also includes blank lines

so in the presentation, I have to wait to finish the animation of the blank lines, to go to the next bullet.
Please, if someone could show me the right way to do this.
Thank you.

I tried that solution but the problem is in After Paragraph you can only specify a number between 0 and 400, and in this case were insufficient 400 so I had to increase the value in Line. But Thank you for you help.
Apple should correct this problem in iWork 10 because in PowerPoint I do not have this problem, and is much easier add blank lines instead of using After Paragraph.

How do I use a custom image as a bullet in Keynote 09?

All I need to do is use a PNG file as a bullet in the Master
Everything I find online says there is a Custom Image option but the only choices I see are None, Bullet, Image, Lettered, Numbered.
This should be simple but I have already wasted 2 hours trying to do this.
Please, can someone tell me what I am missing? What am I not understanding about this procedure?

As stated, the problem was that I could not find Custom Image anywhere. I finally figured out that along with the drop down menu for the Bullets there is also a triangle before the word Bullet 7 Lists. THAT is where one finds the Custom Image choices

How to do you hide bullets in Keynote?

You need bullets to control special insertion effects for each section of text. How do you hide the bullets so they are not seen, but are still there for the program to act upon.

bullet symbols have nothing to do with controling builds
to use text in a build sequence:
create individual text boxes
select all
Inspector > build
set up build effect
delivery by paragraph
open the side drawer to arrange the build order if necessary

Beyond Bullet Points & Keynote

Hi folks,
I've recently fallen for BBP by Cliff Atkinson in a big way. One of the suggestions (well, BBP 'laws') is to storyboard your presentation in the Slide Sorter view - that's the PowerPoint version of Keynote's Light Table. In PowerPoint you can edit your slides in this view, in Keynote you don't seem to be able to do this.
I can achieve a similar effect with the Outline view - but it doesn't have the same visual impact for the creator. Does anyone know if there is a way to edit in Light Table view? Am I missing something?
Cheers

Thanks for the response, I'll just have to get more creative with the Outline view. That'll be fine.
Cheers

HELP - I just downloaded the update, and now all my keynote slide shows have ugly symbols (sort of a black box with an O in the middle) wherever I clicked 'return' to go down a bullet or to edit text. It does not let me delete these marks

this is what it looks like

Interesting, Have you tried selecting the text elements and then formatting them so that they are not bulleted? And then reformatting them with a different style bullet so you can see if the black boxes come back with a different style of bullet?
I just made a few small test lists with bullets in Keynote and I have no issues.

Keynote for iOS Bullet Alignment Bug?

Does anyone know how to solve this issue:
Image bullets in Keynote for iOS have a bug related to vertical alignment of the image.
For the first line of text, the bullet image is correctly aligned in the vertical center of the line.
For all other lines, the bullet image is aligned towards the top of the line.
This is true regardless of whether I use the default image in iOS or import an OSX keynote document.

I kept trying things this weekend to fix this problem, and I FINALLY figured out what the common feature was, that was causing the misalignment of the bullets.
Line spacing.
If you apply line spacing BEFORE a paragraph, it misaligns the bullets... which is WHY it wasn't happening to the 1st bullet in each text box, but only those following....
In the final test I changed the line spacing attribute to AFTER a paragraph, and VOILA! no more misaligned bullets.
It's definitely a bug in the software, since either way it looks fine on the mac, and is only a problem on the iPad.

Drop-down Text - Bullet Format

Can bullets in a drop-down text box be different than the bullet of the item it is describing. In RoboHelp 9, the bullets take on the formatting of the original item even though I have them formatted differently.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do.
I start with this list:
When I create the drop-down text and format the bullets within this text for item "Line 1", they look like this.
When I view the selected item and/or when I generate and view it, I get the following result.
Obviously I didn't create the drop-down text with the large square bullet, but it appears to pick up the bullet from the main listing.
How can I get separate formatting for the drop-down text? Is there something wrong with the formatting of my drop-down text box?
I do have drop-down text boxes in RoboHelp 7 that have different bullet formatting, but the only way this could be achieved is by leaving the formatting of the original list as Normal and inserting the bullet as an image.
This shows the list item with an inserted image as the bullet and in Normal format.
This shows the formatting that I would like to see.
This shows that the formatting is ok in the drop-down, but only if I don't use bullets on the original list.
Thank you!

Did anyone ever figure this out? I am having the same problem, but in addition to bullet and numbering styles, the dropdown text is inheriting other qualities from the Hotspot format, including font color.
What can I do to maintain the formatting in the drop down text independently from the text formatting of the hotspot?
Thanks!

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.

RH8 conversion (bullet images and numbered lists are different)

Version 8.0.2.208
Conversion of 1200 htm files.
Has anyone experience bullet images in their custom styles changing from RH7 to RH8 and numbers in numbered lists resized?
Bullets
I noticed that all my bullet images have changed. They are OK in Design view, but change when the topics are previewed and generated.
For example, if the style used a small square bullet image, it was changed to the bullet used at the beginning of this sentence.
If I attempt to create a new bullet list in the existing topic using the Normal style (Arial 12) and Formatting Toolbar (Bullets), the bullet and text are changed to (Arial 10) and the style name changes to (none) in Design view. Preview and generated is also Arial 10 for both.
Numbered Lists
Most of the existing converted topics used the Normal style and Formatting Toolbar (Numbers) for numbered lists. There is spacing between each numbered line. The numbers and text are in (Arial 12) in Design view, but the numbers are (Arial 10) when the topics are previewed and generated and the text remains (Arial 12).
If I select the numbered list, click the numbered list icon to turn off numbering, and then click to turn on numbering, the numbers and text are (Arial 10) and the style is changed to (none). Output and preview are (Arial 10). The spacing between the numbered items is deleted.
I have to then highlight that list and change the style back to Normal for (Arial 12) text.
If I attempt to create a new numbered list in the existing topic using the Normal style (Arial 12) and Formatting Toolbar (Bullets), the bullet and text are changed to (Arial 10) and the style name changes to (none) in Design view. Preview and generated is also Arial 10 for both.
This has taken up a lot of my time. Any clues?
Donna

I went to the link you provided.I am still confused as to the step by step procedure to fix my custom bullet style that is used throughout my project. Can you globally fix this issue? It would be too time consuming to figure out where in 1200 topics this style is used. I guess I don't understand list styles.
Custom Style = BulletList
My custom (BulletList) style - Design mode:
Preview mode (incorrect)
Another topic using ths sam (BulletList) style - Preview mode (incorrect should be square bullets)
I select Format > Styles in design mode. Right-click on BulletList, select Edit.
If I ceate a bulleted list, the square bullet is selected.

Bullet does not show correctly in WYSIWYG.

Hi All,
I'm currently using RoboHelp X5.
I use the .css file, which are already made, for a new
project and the bullet style appears incorrectly in WYSIWYG. For
example, if I apply the circle bullet, the square bullet appears in
WYSIWYG. But If I see the topic in preview, it looks fine.
I'm not sure if it is related to the this bullet problem,
when creating a new project, the errors occurred saying "An error
occurred while trying to save data to <.../rhfontset.apj>"
and "An error occured while trying to read data from
<.../fhfontset.apj>"
Please help me with this problem, if anyone knows...
Thanks.

When you say you are getting the same error, do you mean just
the wrong bullet or you also get the rhfontset.apj message?
Have you tried using a different style sheet to test whether
that gives the same problem? Take a copy of the project using
Windows Explorer and in the copy go to the topic list. Select all
the topics and right click. Select Properties and you can apply the
supplied style sheets.
Also test one of the supplied projects.
Sorry I won't be around much today so hopefully this helps or
someone else can guide you.
