Hello,
I have pasted this text from internet, and I have selected it then selected "bullets" at right (blue arrow). But at the blues lines at left it insert a bullet on each line (including the blank lines). I would like :
1) create a paragraph designer where bullets are put only on lines containing text (not on blank lines).
2) idem, but with an ascending number at left (instead of bullets).
How to do it ?

Hi,
There are empty lines with bullets, because these are new paragraphs. All paragraphs have the same format with bullet, whether they are empty or with text.
You can delete these empty paragraphs. In the Find/Change dialog enter this in the Find text box: \P\p
This means: paragraph begin and then paragraph end without anything in between.
In the Change text box enter nothing.
Then search for the empty paragraphs and delete with nothing.

When you want to have ascending numbers instead of bullets, create a new paragraph format.
In the Paragraph Designer give your style a new name, e.g. InstructionStep.
Go to the Numbering tab.
Activate Autonumber Paragraphs.
In the Format text box enter <n+> and then a tab \t.

In the Basic tab edit the Tab Stops, so that after the numbering your text starts e.g. at 1 cm.
In the Indent Left text box enter the same value. Then the second and all other lines start also at this indentation.
