Hi,

I am creating a list style. I want to use a custom png/jpeg/gif image as the bullet. Is it possible to do that. If yes, how do I do that?

Thanks,

Vinay

Thnx for all your help. Acquired a lot of gyaan from the above 2 links. Without those links I will be wandering everywhere finding out how to convert those numbered lists to bulleted lists again.

Finally I decided to create new List styles which RH8 is providing. Thats the best option I guess.

Thnx again

Ah, didn't quite get that... You can use images for list styles in RH:

If you use the new RH8 list styles (ie <li> classes) you can set the image using the RH CSS editor. Peter explains how to do this on http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/rh8_lists.htm

The other way is to add the code in CSS using an editor, such as Notepad or Notepad++. In the list class you want an image (for List2New, go to li.List2New), add the following code:

list-style-image: url(image.png);

Hey Willam,

I am able to insert images in list styles.

Few last queries:

1)  Do I always have to apply list styles from the "Styles and Formatting pod", as the list styles do not appear in the drop-down in the toolbar above.

2) After I apply a list style, what is the best way to change the text to Normal style. Because when I apply NORMAL from the drop-down on a bulleted list, the bullets are still remaining and only the text is changed to NORMAL. I also want to remove the bullet when a NORMAL is applied. Any possible way to do this.

To explain the issue more clearly.

I am using my own template in RH7.

For bulleted list 1 style, I am using the image:

For bulleted list 2 style, I am using the image:

So, when you apply the above two styles, it looks as shown in the following figure.

But recently I upgraded RH to version 8 and both styles automatically changed to numbered lists. The font, indent, spacing. etc , everything is fine, except for those images which are replaced by numbers as shown in the following figure:

I am trying to edit the styles, but I am not able to find the option to insert those images in RH 8.

I think I am clear this time... Can someone help me with this.

Vinay....

Hi,

We've discussed lists on this forum numerous times. Please search the forum.

What is probably happening is that your style definitions are set in the paragraph and that won't work anymore in RH 8.

See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/rh8_lists.htm for an overview over how to work with lists in RH 8.

As for your existing topics, please post an example topics. There may be a fairly easy solution to change make your project work.

Greet,

Willam
