[Framers] Custom graphic as bullet

[louisek at mchsi.com]

Hi Gillian,

I don't have Frame available, so if I remember correctly (fingers crossed), here's how you can make a custom bullet:

Draw a Graphic Frame on the Reference Pages and if the art file size is small enough, I'd copy, not reference it into the frame. Name the Graphic Frame, for example, Custom Bullet.

Now here's the part I can't quite remember: in the Para Designer, I *think* your new Graphic Frame, Custom Bullet, will be in the Building Block list. Bring up the current bullet paragraph format, delete the bullet Building Block and put Custom Bullet in its place. Be sure to click on it from the Building Block list, don't type it in. 

If you know they will never want the old bullet, you can do an Update All and not keep any overrides. If you're not sure, you can create a new para format with the Custom Bullet, and retag paragraphs as needed.

Then you'll have to play around with the placement/size of the art in the Graphic Frame, and tabs.

Hope this helps -

Louise

Frame Gurus! 

Using: 
Unstructured Frame 
TCS 2017 

Our marketing department wants us to use a customized bullet. It's more of a graphic, because it's not in the character palette. They use InDesign so they inserted it as a graphic. They want us to use it as a bullet in all of our bullet lists. 

So how do I make a customized bullet list with a customzed graphic? The Character Designer does not allow for inserting a graphic to create a bullet. Any ideas? 

Thanks, 
Gillian
