Hi,

What do you mean with "thumbnail"?

Do you mean a special character? You can enter any character and apply the correct character format with the correct font.

Or do you want to insert your own small image? Always the same? Or different images for the list items?

You might create your own font with your small images. If you assign these images to the numbers 1 to <high number>, you can use the <n+> building block to change the images.

Most decent graphics applications allow to create your own font files.

Best regards, Winfried

Thank you Bob, but it's very much technical. I am trying to catch your point.

Simply put, you need a character (in this case, a pointing finger) from a font. If your paragraph font doesn't have the pointing finger you want, you'll need to specify a character from another installed font on your system.

If from another font, use that character for the "bullet" (which could be a keyboard character or a unicode character) in your autonumbering properties, and create a character format that specifies that font.
Specify the character format at the bottom of the autonumbering properties.
