If you want the bulleted list to be indented by 0.25" = 18 pt, try using 22
pt (18+4) for the "Left" setting. (4 pt is the default "Left" setting in
Word.)

This is because the position of the border is specified in relation to the
*text* of the paragraph, which obviously changes when you apply a bulleted
list that has a left indent. In the Border and Shading Options dialog box,
under "From text," adjust the "Left" setting.
Alternatively, specify that the bulleted list should *not* be indented
from the left margin.

Hello everyone,
I have defined a style that emphasises the selection by indenting a few
inches to the right and adding a vertical border to its left. The problem
is
that when I add a a bulleted list to a portion of text formatted with
this
style, the indentation doesn't behave the way I'd like it to. It's
difficult
to explain so I've uploaded this screenshot:

Can anyone help? I'd like the border to remain in the same position for
normal text as well as for text in bulleted lists. Many thanks for any
help.
