customised bullets

T

Terry

In Word, it is possible to create a customised bullet from an external source e.g. a company logo. It does not appear to be possible to do this using Publisher. Furthermore, Publisher will not support such a customised bullet if it is imported as part of a Word file.

Any suggestions?

I wanted a custom bullet for a Publisher document. I used a small picture
and inserted it where I wanted. It took a little tweaking but it looked
quite nice when I finished.

Thanks JoAnn
I did this on one of my publications and I agree that it works but, as you say, it takes quite a lot of tweaking
I wonder why MS decided that Publisher would not support customised bullets?

I cannot use Word if the whole document is in Publisher and Publisher will not support this feature in an imported Word file.

I don't know - they didn't ask me either. ;-)

Probably due to little to no demand for the feature. Send your wish to
