automate bullet points
Hi everyone, I’m working on a lead magnet layout in InDesign and need help automating FontAwesome bullet points. Each line starts with “Not this:” or “But this:”, both use a Character Style (bold and colored) and followed by normal body text on the same line. I want to add a FontAwesome bullet point at the start of each line automatically, without manually typing it every time.
I tried using Paragraph Styles, but the bullet formatting applies to the entire line, affecting the “Not this / But this” text and body copy as well. Is there a way to automate just the bullet symbol?
example format:
Resilience
For when rejection or failure starts to feel personal.
Not this: ‘Rejection is a sign that I should stop.’
But this: ‘Rejection is part of the process, not proof of failure.’
Not this: ‘If I were really good, it wouldn’t be this hard.’
But this:‘It’s hard because I’m learning the thing by doing the thing.’
Not this: ‘My book tanked — I’m a total failure.’
But this: ‘Most careers build slowly. Would I really want my first book to be my best one?’
Not this: ‘I can’t handle another no.’
But this: ‘It’s okay to hate the no’s — just remember, most of the time you only need one yes.’
