Is there a way to make a paragraph style to begin with a custom bullet plus numbering?

Is there a way to make a paragraph style to begin with a custom bullet plus numbering?

I've tried use numbering with "^B(^#)^t" as number style, but then I can't choose the proper bullet.

I know a paragraph like that is kind of odd, but unfortunately I do need it.

 

Thank you very much.

    What Bullet Character would you like?

     

    Have you tried converting a bullet to text - for a moment

     

    Select the bullet character and paste it into the Numbering field

     

    <bullet>^m(^#)

     

    might work

    Thank you Eugene, but I want to use a Wingdings character as bullet on a Helvetica numbered list.

     

    Example:

    I think that you may be trying to do more than InDesign's bullet and numbering feature can accomplish by itself. There are a few hacks I can think of, but no way to do what you want with only the bullet & numbering feature.

     

    One way to get what you want would be to use an ordinary numbered list and then insert an anchored object:

    I suspected that was not possible to be done by a paragraph style. I've been trying to change the default bullet, but I had no success.

    But this is a nice workaround Joel, Thank you.
