Please please please help a desperate fool...
I want, nay, NEED to create bullet pointed lists in illustrator.
I realise I could just insert the bullet charcter thusly • but i need the indent too... ie:
• Lorem ipsum dolor sit era
edipiscing elit, sed diem
nonummy nibh euisNOT
• Lorem ipsum dolor sit era edipiscing elit, sed diem nonummy nibh euis
I could even draw the bullets and have the text sperate and just line it all up by eye, but i have a LOAD of this copy to churn through to produce some panels for an exhibition - with the possibility of LOTS of last minute changes to the copy coming in too.
Can bulleted lists be done natively in illustrator? If not, any upgrades? Plugins? Tricks or tips?
Thanks in advance!

It can't be done. Manually, baby.

However, you can do crap like that in Word, for example. Why're you using Illustrator to lay out text anyway?

Like I said, I'm doing some huge panels for an exhibition, using vecotr shenanegans and bitmaps too. I'm talking 6 foot high jobbies.
Manual only?... ugh.... nooooo

Just make your paragraphs & add bullets in separate text boxes later. You don't have to do any tabbing or anything. That's the look you want, right?

Odd... when i click that link to download it, it renames .ai to .ps ....
I think you can just rename it back...
Um....
Or something.
