I want to achieve something like a bullet and then a number:
I'd like to have deep control over the bullet. I've tried a variety of mechanisms including:
There is a bullet character available in the (automatic) numbering option but I can't seem to customize the style, though I would prefer to use automatic numbering:
^b
Is there any way, other than doing the numbers manually, to achieve the look that I want in InDesign?
Just work with a table. 1 row, 2 columns. The first column is the styled bullet and the second is your numbered List:
Or, if you don't mind losing the automatic numbering on finish, you could make a two-paragraph format. The first would have numbers and the second would have your bullet (and styles). Apply the first format to the list, then right click into the text box and choose "convert numbering to text", then apply bullet format.
Select "Numbers" as your list type, make sure numbering is selected as your format, and put: • Recomendation 1-^#:^t into the field "Number". This will put a Bullet character and some common text before the number.
