InDesign: Adjusting 'space after' for only last line of bulleted list (using paragraph style)

[kristenc72354486]

I have created a paragraph style for a bullet list. However, I want the "space after" amount for the last bullet in the list to be different by default than the "space after" amount for the rest of the bullets within the list. For instance, in a list of five items, I want bullets 1-4 to have a space after of "0.0625 in," but for the fifth (and final) bullet in the list, I want it to be "0.1389 in."

I've set the "space after" in my paragraph style to "0.0625 in" -- but I don't want to have to manually go back to every list to change the final line to the greater spacing I desire. Is there a way to customize a paragraph style in such a way?

Thanks for trying.

InDesign's bullets are pretty typical of how most page-layout programs work. InDesign could always improve on existing features, but the bullets and numbered lists are pretty full featured.

Assuming you are using the default tab character after your bullet, your left indent and tab are always equal. The first line is a negative "outdent" from the left indent; it can be equal or slightly less than the left, but never greater.

I use Space Before for my body-based styles, including bullet and numbered lists. Removing or reducing the space is all that is needed.
