Hi,

Thanks.

I have to go by memory here as I don't have ps open but look under layer go down the list and find type there you can convert into paragraphs ...... then on another layer you will have to use a brush size 5 and "paint" in the bullets ....... at least this is the only way that I know

I believe you can create text bullets in PS. I don't know what it is in Windows (Some combination of Alt + 4 numbers). On the Mac, it's Opt-8.

If there is a way to do this in Windows, I'd sure like to know! What I do is copy & paste from the "character map"!

yeah Wendy or copy and paste from word........ I will have to have a proper look for you and see if I can find the answer...... I won't be back on this board until tomorrow again - sorry, just too much work to log in often ;\

Hey Sue... I discovered that you can't "C+P" bullets from Word into PS! [confused]

But I'd seriously love to know that 'shortcut' (combination of Alt+4 numbers) that Julie speaks of!

Found it!

To create a bullet in Windows: ALT+0149

Mac (again) Opt-8

hmmmmmmm sure I have copied it from some where into there..... wonder if it was from my html you know when I doing pages or was it an email ;\ dah silly me can't remember......... you know what time to get the book out........

hey Julie you are right ha ha ha well done but what a short cut he he he
still it is better than what the book says...........
Bulleted list was set using a left indent of 12pts (and then it has a paragraph that is bulleted above this) and really that is all it says about it

Julie's correct you guys...

Just hold down the ALT key and on the numbpad kayes type 0149.

You can do this for ANY character in the unicode fontset. Study your charactermap to learn/memorize your favorites.

HINT: For anyone caring to know... this is how we html coders input these 'special characters' into a Webpage -- by using their unicode numbers. But we leaver off the 0 (zero). That ensures that people see the correct character even if they are in a different country. These numbers are universal, but keyboard layouts are not.

There are 2 specific TAGS in the header of every Webpage that tell the user's browser what characterset the page is using. And how to handle special characters should it find any contained in the page.

Just thought i'd share that bit'o'info.

Ha! So my answer came in on the very day that I left for 'vacation'! B7
Julie, thanks so much for sharing that Windows "0149" shortcut! I shall remember that one for future use... or shall I? [confused]
