Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: Nested Bullet Lists with different bullets?

[Kevin O'Brien]

I finally figured out what my problem was. I was using the Indent button 
instead of the Demote button. Once I got my buttons straight everything 
worked fine.

 One thing that was not mentioned explicitly. Step 1 needs to be 
done for each level of bullets you want to use. (I think from your 
original email that you understand this, but I wanted to make sure.)

Then...

 1. Select the level from the left
 2. Change the "Numbering" drop-down to "Bullet"
 3. Then choose "Bullets" from the only other drop-down left
 4. Then use the button labelled "..." to choose the bullet you want.

anyone shed light on this?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: Nested Bullet Lists with different bullets?

[Dan Lewis]

 In addition I would change your step #3 to Choose Graphics rather 
than Bullets. This reveals an additional dropdown list (Select). From 
here you can select a graphic from a file or from the choice of bullets 
in the gallery.
 As a test, I created a nested bullet list with three levels. Level 
1 is a red bullet, Level 2 is a green bullet, and Level 3 is yellow. If 
you want to know what is available for bullets, open the Gallery and 
click the Bullets in the Theme list.
