How do I add color to bullets? My text is black and I'd like to
change the color of the bullets.

Click at the end of the paragraph. Then press Shift-Right. An area of
blank space will be selected (this is actually the end-of-paragraph mark,
visible if you turn on showing of special characters). Set the formatting
of this and it will also change the formatting of the bullet to match.

press shift-right??? not sure how to do that. I pressed shift and right
arrow to highlight the space and then changed the color, but it didn't change
the bullet color??? What am I doing wrong?

What version of Publisher are you using? This just worked for me in
Publisher 2003.

Shift-Right is holding down Shift, and pressing the Right arrow key.

I'm using Publisher 2003. I pressed Shift-right arrow key and the end of the
bullet sentence and then went to- format - font and selected a blue color.
It didn't change the bullet but just changed the special character to blue.
Is there a setting I need to make before this can work? call me 484-321-5433.

No.
I followed the following procedure:
- Start Publisher
- Create a new blank document
- Create an empty text box
- Type the following (without the quotes)
"ABC" <return> "A" <return> "B" <return> "C" <return> "ABC"
- Select the three middle lines, click the Bullet button on the toolbar.
- Click on the right-hand-side of the A.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to the Font Color button on the toolbar.
- Select a colour from the drop-down list.

Can you follow that procedure to the letter and see whether it works on your
machine?

Also, do you have SP2 for Office 2003?

I'd rather not. I'm in the UK, and only have access to a mobile phone. It
would cost me more than I can afford. Newsgroup support is free.

Easy way, turn on the Special characters, ¶ Highlight the ¶ at the end on the
bulleted line, select the color. Not all fonts will work, only the good ones.
