Just being fussy, can I have a space between the bullet list paragraphs automatically, without the empty paragraphs? I’m trying to be squeaky clean.
There are some (too many) List paragraph styles provided as a sub-style of Body Text. They are separated into two main names: List, and Numbering. List is intended for bullets because Numbering is intended for numbering.
Because the number of styles is so exceptionally long that under List I tend to make a style called Count for numbering and a style called Bullet for bullets. But lets use List 1 style
- The first step is to set your paragraph spacing in the paragraph style. As it inherits from Body Text you don’t need to do anything for paragraph spacing as you will have already set that.
If you ever need the lists to close up to normal line spacing you can tick the box Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style - In the List 1 dialogue, select Outline & List tab. In the List Style, select Bullet •. OK
- Remove the Bullet • list style from your list. Then apply the List 1 paragraph style
- When you are at the end of your list, make a return and then press Ctrl+0 to return to Body Text.
