Bullet & Text combo

[lcshrm]

Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a
bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?"

I have a client that wants several styles like this in a new template.

Apparently that cannot be done with Microsoft Word.

If you really have to make that work the best thing to do is to create a
table with three columns with invisible gridlines. One column would have the
arrow,m the other one the word important and the n the last one the text you
want to include in that row.

Let me know if this information was useful,

In Word 2007, you can add text before or after a number or bullet character,
but (as far as I can tell) not if you are using a picture bullet.

Using tables would of course do the trick. Good idea!

Well, it would depend on how you create the arrow. You can have only one
font and only one color as part of a "numbering" scheme, but if you are
using a font that includes arrows, such as TRN or Arial, you could use one
of those (they're not very satisfactory, but they are arrows) with the word
IMPORTANT; the whole thing would have to be red, however.

Maybe my reply was a bit unclear. By "bullet character" I meant any symbol
that you can add as a character from a font, including the arrows that you
mentioned in your message.

In contrast, "picture bullet" (in Word terminology) is an actual
picture/graphic inserted as a bullet; from Word 2003 (2002?), picture
bullets can be added to a style definition.

Correct, of course.

Good idea (with certain limitations that you have already mentioned). I
belive the workaround suggested by "vttotal" would be easier, though.
