Seneca Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Does anyone know why we have this button in the Paragraph Styles -> Bullets and Numbering? So far I've been unable to make it work and wonder what its purpose in life is.

Distill7 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It works for me, you can place a text instead of a bullet. For example: Publisher Photo Designer Can be turned to the following if you type Affinity in that text case Affinity Publisher Affinity Photo Affinity Designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 On my machine (Windows 7) the button is "More…" rather than simply "…" It is greyed out / unavailable until I select Bullet from the "Type" drop-down. Then it turns white, and when clicked will lets me select other, less common glyphs from a font.

One slight problem I have is the Edit Text Style dialog being so tall that it opens with the title bar almost completely off the top of my laptop screen, and I have to drag it down a little.

This is the interesting side door to all kinds of bullets: One can use one of many symbol fonts to choose all kinds of shapes. One could create an own symbol font with custom bullets. (I do not know very much about font creation. But there are some specialists in the forum who could provide more information). d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2).
