I feel sure I must have missed something, but I'll carry on anyway…

Why can't you use the hanging indent (eg indent 6mm, first indent -6mm, tab at 6mm for first line) and then ask your clients not to put the soft returns in, or do a find and replace and automaticallychange all the soft returns to a space.

Surely that way all the bullet points are in one paragraph anyway, and the text box will still justify vertically.

I'm on CS3, so maybe CS5 has done something weird with hanging bullet point paras?
