all bullets.

Choose an option from the pop-up menu. For some options, you can adjust the size

and vertical alignment using the fields on the right.

 Text Bullets: Choose an option from the bullet style pop-up menu, or type the

character(s) you want to use (any keyboard character) in the text box. To change a

text bullet’s color, click the color well and choose a color in the Colors window.

 Image Bullets: Choose from one of the images provided.

 Custom Image: Select one of your own image files or drag an image from the

Finder or Media Browser to the image well. Most images must be scaled very small

to be used as text bullets.

 Numbers: Choose a format from the number style pop-up menu.

 No Bullets: Use this option to create bullet-less text. (You can use free text boxes

instead, but text in free text boxes doesn’t display or print in outline view.)

Important: Selecting the “Scale with text” checkbox maintains the bullet-to-text ratio

specified in the Size field, even if you change the font size.

Select the bullet type, style,
color, position, and size.

Click to format bullets.
