Hi, I would like to add in a text with bullet point, but I cant seem to get it with the right formatting. I did attempt to format it in illustrator (using tabs and paragraph spacing) before copying and pasting, but to no avail. anyone knows how?
AE doesn't support any specific list formatting. You have to manualyl construct it from multiple text layers and/ or using lots of spaces and custom kerning.

This should work -
str = text.sourceText;
bullet = str.split("\r");
numBullets = bullet.length;
newStr = "";
for(i = 1; i < numBullets; i++) {
bullet[i] = "• " + bullet[i];
newStr = newStr + bullet[i] + "\r";
}
str.split("\r")[0] + "\r" + newStr

For a not very flexible, but quick fix, you can insert an Alt-text bullet point by putting your cursor before the text you want bulleted, then while holding down ALT, enter 0149 on the keypad (windows only, not sure on Mac). Then copy and paste the bullet where needed. Or you can go the Javascript route.

Thanks for keeping it simple.

You'll have to format manually, but simply typing a bullet point (on a Mac, Option + 8), or copy-pasting one, worked for me.

How did it come to this where we have to have 2 Adobe Community pages of work-arounds to solve a problem that was solved by Powerpoint 10 years ago and powerpoint sucks which I hope we all agree. Please Adobe, just be marginally as good as Powerpoint.
