Bullet style inherits character style


Recommended Posts

Dears,

I have a question.

When I am creating list with bullets using some style and typing text, then style of the bullet it self is preserved. See on the image the bullet has standard black style and then the first character is "black regular" space: Bullet-With-space.jpg.ff074d3fa61851ec628b9fcd479c8c15.jpg

But When I am changing the style of the first character in the list (deleting "black regular" space) and then "blue bold" 4 becomes the first chanracter, then the style of the bullet is changing to "blue bold".

See when I am removing the space: Without-space.PNG.dc2aee85bd60ca802956383e4c635386.PNG

 

Is this behaviour expected?

How can I keep bullet style not changed even if the first character style is changed (placing space is not nice woraround)?

 

Best regards,

Seweryn.

Yes, that's how the Affinity applications work.

You need to define a Character Text Style for your bullet character. Then, in the Paragraph panel or in the Paragraph Text Style for your bulleted list you specify that Character Text Style in the Bullets and Numbering section.
