    Hi Everyone,

    Does anyone know how to create a custom bullet in InDesign? Let me be more specific. Does anyone know how to use an image as a bullet in InDesign? The dialogue box will not allow me to do this. Must I use an anchored object or is there a better, more automated way of achieving this goal? I have way too many of these to do to insert an anchored object every time I want to achieve this effect. Thanks.

    Use anything you want for the bullet, just make sure it's about the same size as the graphic you want to use.

    Once everything's done, save a copy of the file (just in case) and convert all the bullets to text.

    Place the graphic and get it to the exact size you want. Copy it to the clipboad.

    Use find change to find the bullet character and replace it with the clipboard contents. You'll find that choice by opening the flyout menu for the change and choosing other.
