Claus Faber Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 I was wondering if it is possible to use an image as a bullet in a bulleted list. Any suggestions? Or do I have to do this "the hard way" with every paragraph: indent, hanging indent for the first line, paste the image, tab, adjust line height...? Many thanks, Claus Quote
Komatös Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Hi @Claus Faber and welcome to tjhe forum. I can't think of any program where it is even possible to use an image file as a bullet in a paragraph style sheet. So yes, you will have to go the "hard way".

GarryP Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 If by “image” you mean a bitmap/raster (e.g. JPG, PNG, etc.) then, as stated above, this cannot be done. If, on the other hand, you mean a single-colour vector image (e.g. SVG) then it’s possible by creating a font which contains that vector design and then using the font in a bullet Character Style. The Affinity applications cannot create fonts so you would need to create the font elsewhere but there are various free web services that will allow you to do this, e.g. https://icomoon.io/ Quote

Alternatively to the useful SVG -> Font solution: A different "hard way" would use Pinned objects, optionally as Drop Caps. Once one pinned image got setup as wanted it may be "just" copied/pasted for further use with same settings.

You can do it in MS Word or Apple Pages - I've done both Quote
