Display error in Bullets and Numbering section of Paragraph Panel


Recommended Posts

When trying to choose different bullet styles in the Bullets and Numbering section of the Paragraph Panel, Publisher will stop showing the actual bullet that you've chosen and display a colored square instead. I tried making a video but the synch didn't work properly between the mouse pointer and what was being displayed, so I'll use some screenshots instead.

(1) Screenshot before I do anything:

(2) Next I select Bullet in the Type box. Publisher shows me a basic bullet, and a Tab.

(3) As I want a different bullet style, I backspace over the Tab and bullet character, and use the Text pulldown to choose the Right Rriangle.
Publisher displays:

(4) To see the actual selected bullet, I switch back to Type No List (see first screenshot for the result), then switch back to Type Bullet.
Publisher displays the correct result:

With a numbered list the same occurs. Just worse. The number (or a placeholder such as \#) doesn't appear in the blue box. Switching to Type: No List empties the edit box (which it should), and switching back to Type: 1,2,3,4... makes the text reappear but still wrong.

The screenshot is of the Edit Text Style dialog, but the Paragraph panel shows the same.
