Quick question about InDesign CS. How the heck do you do bullets??
- Typographica0
In any Mac app, the bullet is opt-8. For the often more classy "raised period" which is like a smaller bullet, type opt-shift-9.
bullets: •••
raised period: ···If you're wanting indents too, use the tabs command (I forget the key cmd) and you'll get your standard word processor-like ruler for adjusting paragraph formatting.

any idea what that would be on a PC??

PC:
Use the "character map" in the programs menu.

I love the opportunity to show how much better the Mac is. In Windows:
Bullet: Alt-0149
Raised Period: Alt-0183Yes, you have to type all those keys.

maybe i'm just not wording the question properly. if you do a bullet, how do you get the text to not wrap underneath the bullet on the next line, etc, etc

InDesign will not do that sort of thing automatically. That's more a MS Word feature. If you need that stuff automated I recommend processing your text in Word and placing it in InD later.

to not get the text to appear under the bullet (ie: line up with the first word of the bullet)...
it's cmd + backslash (" \ ")
not sure on a pc... hope that helps.

You are so right, scratch. I'm ashamed I forgot that.
