Bulleted list and icon insertion

By Cari Jansen | February 20, 2006

Digitip 043 - Adobe InDesign CS2

The following video tip shows you how to use the bulleted lists feature to automatically insert different icons in front of selected paragraphs.

About the tip

Imagine having to manually place little phone symbols at the start of a line of text containing a phone number, or an envelop symbol in front of an address line. Even with the use of the next style feature in InDesign, this would require the insertion of a separate symbol preceding the text. Using the bulleted lists feature available in InDesign CS2 (and CS with Pagemaker plug-in pack installed) will ease the pain of having to do this manually. It becomes even more powerful if you combine it with nested styles as briefly reviewed in tip 042.
