RE: Bullet points
Hi Sonia, A wise, wise teacher once said to me, the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked. ;-) You've gotten great advice so far on your question, and I'd like to add my two cents method if I may. If you are at all familiar with a graphics program like Photoshop, you can make a bullet point exactly as you'd like, then save it in whatever extension you use for your screen captures. That way you can import your custom made bullet point from FileImport over and over again, and shrinkwrap where you'd like. IMHO, this is the fast and easy way, and I've had excellent results with it. To Grant and Roger, thanks so much for your input guys. I've copied both to my personal FrameMaker tip sheet.

Is there a way of completely customise bullet points in FrameMaker to the extent of making the actual bullet (but not the text that follows) larger and also to widen the distance between bullet and text that follows?

Re: Bullet points
Actually .. the baseline shift can be done through FrameMaker with a free plugin that we offer .. http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/extracharformat.php ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Steve Rickaby wrote: At 09:39 -0500 3/3/06, Roger Shuttleworth wrote: Further to Grant's reply: You can use any font for your character format.
