Word 2007 - Styles - Create icon style
I'm using Word 2007. I know how to make paragraph styles that are
just text. I'm trying to make a style that contains an icon and also text. I'd prefer to text to be next to the icon, but if it is under the icon that is ok. I tried creating a frame with a picture icon that I wanted inside the frame, but I could not get it to work. I also tried new style, format | frame and that did not work either. Any help would be appreciated. |

Word 2007 - Styles - Create icon style
A style can't include an icon _as a picture_ but you can define a
"bullet list" style in which the bullet is anything you want. Here are the steps: - In the Home ribbon, click the tiny button in the bottom right corner of the Styles group (or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) to open the Styles task pane. - At the bottom of the task pane, click the left button ("New Style"). - In the dialog, assign a name to the new style. Set the "Based on" dropdown to "List Bullet". Click the Format button and choose Numbering. - In the Numbering dialog, click the Bullets tab. If you don't want to use any of the default set, click the Define New Bullet button. There you have your choice of Symbols (from fonts you have) or Picture (more built-in defaults, or any picture file you have by clicking Import). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Regards, Klaus Hi Klaus, Maybe you're right, but I don't see anywhere in the style definition pathway that it could be specified, other than in the bullet list area. That was possible in Word 2003 and maybe earlier. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Word 2007 - Styles - Create icon style
Aah... I re-read your first post, and the picture bullet is just what I
remember from the Beta (and what I thought had not been possible in Word2003). Sorry for the confusion... Maybe picture bullets in a style weren't possible in Word2000, which I used until pretty recently.
