If you’ve got bulleted and numbered lists but want more control over the appearance of the bullets or numbers, convert them to normal text.
To convert all instances of bullets or numbers in a given paragraph style to regular text that you can style, click within an example to highlight the appropriate style on the Paragraph Styles palette, and then, from that palette’s flyout menu, choose Convert [Your Style] Bullets & Numbering To Text.
Indents and tabs will be retained, but the bullet or number glyphs themselves will become normal paragraph text you can style like any other glyph–dropcaps, underlines, strikethroughs, character styles and so on.
