Indent issue and missing option in pull down menu

[Horizon3]

Hello again All, 

A second problem I've encountered and can't find my way out of is with the bulleted list from the Affinity Publisher project 'Brochure' in the Workbook (p. 195). The instructions said create a paragraph style called List. Did that. Then it says: 

3. In the Paragraph > Bullets and Numbering section, adjust settings as shown. Importantly, in the Text box use Current Level (\#) from the drop-down menu plus two spaces. Did that.

4. In the Spacing section, set Left indent to 0.3 in, then reset First line indent back to 0. Did that. 

The problem is in the picture in the book, in Bullets and Numbering > Style section there is a drop down menu that says I should select Bullet. Can't do that. There is no Bullet option in the pull down menu. So now my bulleted list looks like this (see screen shot). I thought if I went to the paragraph panel I could make the necessary adjustments there, but I don't find anything to help me fix that indent problem on line 3. 

Any help how to fix the indent problem and get the Bullet option to appear in the Bullets and Numbering > Style section would be much appreciated. 

 

 

Kind regards.

Step 1 on page 195 states "On the Text Styles Panel, create a new character style called Bullet using Special Elite 20 pt." Step 2 states "Double-click the List paragraph style."

Perhaps you didn't create the Bullet style? If you did then there should be a style named Bullet in the Style dropdown when editing the List style (which you're editing and not creating according to the instructions).

Many thanks MikeTO. You know what I'd done wrong? I had created the Bullet style, but I hadn't set it up properly. I had based the Bullet style on the Heading style instead of on No Style. Problem solved. Thanks for your help!
