JayT6 Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Hi, I am trying to make an infographic in Affinity Designer. When I added the bullet points, the text box gets widened. What should I do to make it normal? Thanks in advance, Jay Quote

Old Bruce Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Couple of things make me wonder where this text came from. The Tab Stop size and the Offsets for the left side. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I have no idea where it came from ... or why this works but to fix it I did this: Select the 'pain...' Art Text layer Select > Select All to select all of it In the Paragraphs panel in Bullets & Numbering section delete everything in the Text: field & then add back just the bullet After doing that, the Art text should revert to just the width needed for the 4 lines of text Optionally, to clean things up a bit in the Paragraphs panel set the TabStop Indent & Left Indent to 0 px.

JayT6 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 Thank you. After resetting the parameter, the bullets looked normal. 👍😊 On 1/8/2023 at 12:49 AM, laurent32 said: To fix easily you could reset default parameter for text… and then apply back the bullets… Quote

Thank you so much. This also fixed the problem. I found a double-arrow symbol next to a bullet point. I deleted them as you suggested and selected a bullet point that fixed the issue. 😊👍 Quote
