Bullet & Text combo
Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a
bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?" I have a client that wants several styles like this in a new template. -- lcshrm |

Apparently that cannot be done with Microsoft Word.
If you really have to make that work the best thing to do is to create a table with three columns with invisible gridlines. One column would have the arrow,m the other one the word important and the n the last one the text you want to include in that row.

In Word 2007, you can add text before or after a number or bullet character,
but (as far as I can tell) not if you are using a picture bullet. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "lcshrm" wrote in message ...

Using tables would of course do the trick. Good idea!

Well, it would depend on how you create the arrow. You can have only one
font and only one color as part of a "numbering" scheme, but if you are using a font that includes arrows, such as TRN or Arial, you could use one of those (they're not very satisfactory, but they are arrows) with the word IMPORTANT; the whole thing would have to be red, however. -- Suzanne S.

"Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a
bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?" Actually...there is. Make a graphic with a red arrow and the text IMPORTANT. Save it. Import it as the bullet picture. Voila. The graphic IS the bullet, and the graphic has the red arrow and "IMPORTANT". You can make any graphic (image file) into a bullet. Please note that you will undoubtedly have to fiddle a bit to determine the pixel size to use. That will take some testing....AND...what actually is there will be affected by the current printer driver. In other words, it may NOT look the same on another machine.

Maybe my reply was a bit unclear. By "bullet character" I meant any symbol
that you can add as a character from a font, including the arrows that you mentioned in your message. In contrast, "picture bullet" (in Word terminology) is an actual picture/graphic inserted as a bullet; from Word 2003 (2002?), picture bullets can be added to a style definition. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.

Good idea (with certain limitations that you have already mentioned). I
belive the workaround suggested by "vttotal" would be easier, though. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Fumei2 via OfficeKB.com" u53619@uwe wrote in message news:a4b7961ff2f23@uwe...
