Just curious if there is a simple way to change the bullet type for an unordered list? For instance, using a '-' instead of the square block. Thanks.

With the Unordered List selected, there is a section in the Design panel called List Settings. The List Type drop-down menu there offers the following options: None, Circle, Disc, and Square.

I am unaware of any way of adding to this list of options, but there is, of course, nothing to stop one selecting None and then adding whatever symbol one wishes (e.g. by copying and pasting from https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref) to the start of each item in the list.

One could, of course, create one's own custom CSS file, and give the Unordered List a class for which that CSS file gives a list-style-type as illustrated at http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp? … e-type_all

Is that setting only available when the list is first inserted? I only see the List Settings when the unordered list is first inserted. After that, I don't see that option.

Hi Jeffrey,

Just select the first item in the list and you will see a little dropdown box to the left where you can make a few different selections, one of them will be Unordered List. Select that to adjust the bullets.

In my experience the List Settings item remains available even after closing and re-opening the program.

One needs to be sure that it is the element called Unordered List that is selected, and not one of the list items. I tend to use the Inspector panel, and to double-click on the Unordered List line there. That opens the Design panel with the Unordered List selected. The sections in the Design panel then appear (at least for me) as Element, Style, Transitions, List Settings, Dimensions etc. One may need to expand the List Settings by clicking on that title.
