Using user-defined bullets<br />

If the bullets presented in the dialog described above are not sufficient, you can<br />

select from many custom symbols to choose a bullet.<br />

Recall that the dialog box for this command presents two rows of bullet icons: The<br />

bullets in the Default row cannot be modified. The bullets in the Custom row, on<br />

the contrary, can be swapped at will.<br />

Proceed as follows:<br />

1. In the Custom row, click on the icon that you want to change.<br />

2. Click on the Change button to the right of the row.<br />

3. A character table appears. First, set the Font that you want to use.<br />

Tip for Windows users: The Symbol and Wingdings fonts contain numerous characters that are<br />

suitable for bullets.<br />

4. Double click on the character you want to select.<br />

5. The selected character now appears in the row of available Custom bullets.<br />

Click on OK to apply it.<br />

Note: Although only six user defined bullets are shown in the dialog box, you are<br />

not limited to using only six different bullets. The custom bullets can be redefined<br />

as often as you like – even within the same document.<br />

Drop caps<br />

A “drop cap” refers to a large ornamental letter at the beginning of a paragraph.<br />

TextMaker is capable of creating such an ornamental letter automatically from the<br />

first letter of a paragraph, and of automatically adjusting the following paragraph<br />

text so that it flows smoothly around this first letter.<br />
