I think Salvador meant using an actual custom graphic as a bullet. I can;t think of a way to do this that wouldn't be awkward, but I've done something similar, laying a solid color behind a heading. After messing with many alternative methods, I eventually used the 'Frame below' feature of the paragraph format in a separate para to pull a graphic from a reference page, and overlaid the two using negative leading. As this was structure FrameMaker, the paired paragraphs could be bound together using a parent element. The para that used 'Frame below' to place the graphic came before the para containing the text. FrameMaker is a bit foxy about what it displays and what it doesn't under these circumstances, so some experimentation is necessary.
