staples23 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hi, When I change a bullet point from a 'bullet' to a 'right pointer arrow', it leaves the bullet on there as shown below. Unless I'm being stupid, I cannot find anyway of removing the original bullet? Also, is it possible to change the colour of the right arrow/bullet to say red, and leave the following text in black? Thanks in advance Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Rob. First: How did you "change the bullet"? That may be related to the result that you got. For that matter, how are you creating the bulleted list, as that may also be relevant to your next question For that next question: Yes, you should be able to change the color of the bullet or arrow. To do that you need to update the paragraph style that you (I hope) used to setup your bulleted list. For example, you can create a Character Text Style that specifies the color you want. Then you can edit the Paragraph Text Style you assigned to the bulleted list and change its characteristics by specifying that character style for the bullets. Here's a screenshot of the editing dialog for Bullet 1, with the relevant tab and field marked: -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the behavior I was expecting - it could be a bug, others would have to say. You need to delete the original bullet and then add the arrow (or vice versa).

staples23 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 @walt.farrell - thank you for your quick response! It looks like @Aammppaa has solved it. I deleted the recent ones i'd used on the "Text" field and they disappeared! I've just done what you said regarding creating a new style with the colour i need and it worked, so thank you very much Aammppaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appending is a useful function, for some situations, so I would say it's intentional.

In general you can put multiple characters into that field. For example, ---->, or [•]. You can also replace the tab with a fixed space. So we don't try to guess what portion of the text you want to delete. Aammppaa and davej 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
