Woopdedooo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Is there a way to make two bullet list next to each other? I can fix it by making two text boxes, but this isn't ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted January 26, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2020 You could setup text frames with multiple coluums, which you can do on the Text Frame panel/Context toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Attached is a very simple set-up as a basic example. Note how the middle text frame has two columns, as suggested by Lee above, and the text flows naturally from one frame to the other. If the text changes you might have to move things around to get the flow to keep up with the changes. side-by-side-bullets.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woopdedooo Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Thank you for your responses, I already setup a similar page, but was hoping to find a more fluid option. What I mean is that when there is text added above the frames slide down or are not in a separate frame at all. None the less, this works in the end as well.

GarryP Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 You’re welcome. I’m pretty sure that what you want can’t be done in Publisher yet. We can only format text by either character or paragraph and so, since Bullets are linked to paragraphs, even if paragraphs could be given a “Number of Columns” option we could only get one bullet per paragraph, e.g. 1 paragraph = 1 bullet. A “Paragraph Group” containing a “Number of Columns” option could be one way but that sounds like it could get real messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could sort of work, if we could Pin a text frame floating in another text frame. But Pinning seems to be disabled when the object to be Pinned is a text frame.

MickRose Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 A table could be used, though it's not ideal Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRose Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 A 2 column table for the bulleted section could be pinned inline to the paragraph above. But is there a way of flowing text between table cells? Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
