    Derek, don’t know the software so can’t really help but if you are in a hurry and just need it for a visual you could try what I sometimes do which is to add an extra space or two in between the text then create a small circle and insert between text, I normally do this when I am using a small graphic or a different shape as bullet points.

    If any of my customers use a logo, I tend to use that as a bullet point.
    Just a thought 😕

    Derek, like Dave I have used logos before but only when they are very simple logos, I don’t have a printer myself so if the logo was complex or multi colour then I would have to get someone else to print them for me. I normally try to use a simple silhouette of something relevant to the customers business, just something a bit different from a dot.

    Hi Derek

    As said just draw circle, im not aware of specific bullet facilities in signpal if there are please tell me.

    I normally draw a circle line up with the first line of text then arrange/step and repeat and align with the others services or whatever in your list.

    Bullet points (as well as other odd symbols) can also be found in a font form, look through your fonts and you will see some that are just symbols and shapes. You will have to type out each letter until you get the symbol you want, then when you know what symbol corresponds to the letter for that font, add a space to your text for your job and change the font for the one letter only and it will give you the symbol you need.

    I hope that makes sence, if not I will try a picture.

    > one
    > two
    > three

    • one
    • two
    • three

    | one
    | two
    | three

    _ one
    _ two
    _ three

    I think sometimes little bits of type are nice and can be contemporary
    I don’t really like using the logo as bullet points…in fact i don’t really like bullet points 😀 😀 😀

    Cheers
