Does anyone know if I can create an unordered list (for style and tagging purposes)  and not have the bullets show up? I am running into dead ends looking for this answer.

Have you tried to delete bullet symbol in the Bullets and Numbering section of the ParaStyle definition?

OK. It won't work for bullets - but as you don't want to have anything displayed in front of the text - switch to Numbers - and make the "NUMBER:" field empty:

Or it really has to be bullet list and can't be numbered one - even without numbers?

Hi Walker@Clemson , Can‘t you do it with Space After and Indents?

Use a space as the bullet. It's usually the first glyph in any selection grid when you Add a new bullet.

 

Or use a bullet style with color set to None. (That will still put a glyph in the text flow, which might confuse readers, accessibility, export to digital formats, etc. but should work perfectly for print and okay for PDF if the reader skips the character.)

Hi James, What‘s the advantage of a bulleted list with a bullet set to [None]— isn’t that the same as this?

It's just another approach that might not have side effects; adjustment of the indents can achieve the same thing either way. But sometimes, the ID, she don' like having basic elements messed with — so I threw that in.
