Edit the Bullet point distance from the beginning of the sentence

Feb 24, 2012 5:34 AM

I'm trying to edit the bullet point distance from the first word of the Sentence.

 

I tried the following:

 

  • Opened Paragraph Styles
  • Click the top right corner dropdown and chose Style Options
  • Click on Bullets and Numbering
  • I Chose Bullets from the List Type dropdown
  • I changed the Tab Position to 5mm as a test

 

This worked, but..........

 

When I clicked on ok to close the Style options, every sentence in the document became a bullet list.

Every time I create a new sentence ina new Text box it is automatically converted to a bullet point

 

If I go back in and undo the Style then I lose all Bullet lists.

 

I am obviously doing the wrong thing.

 

I simply want to change the distance between the Bullet point and the Sentence by half, so that if I create a bullet list it will be a shorter distance. Similar to the above list!

 

Thanks

    every sentence will be affected in the same paragraph, and all paragraphs with that style applied.

    you need to create separate paragraph styles to suit.

    I figured it out.
    Once you go to paragraph styles and adjust your bullet positioning.

    You have to go back to the List type and put it back from bullets to none.
    Now you can type and apply bullets to whatever you want without every sentence becoming a bullet.

    Also for future reference. You can do a hard return. That is Shift and return at the same time will help.
