No bullets but you can use the bullet caharacter instead. Making bulleted paragraph goes like this:

- Insert tab Between bullet and the first character.
- Set tab to for example to 10pt (depends on the bullet character and text size)
- Set 10pt left indent for the paragraph.
- Set -10pt first line indent.
- Make a style and appy to other paragraphs as required.

Copy & Paste, mostly. FreeHand has very clumsy text tools compared to 'real' page layout programs like InDesign and Quark. If you have a lot of text use styles. Instead of changing text attirbutes for each text element it is easier to make the changes in style. If you change attributes of text with style attached choose redefine from the style menu and all the text with same style change accordingly.

NOTE! Default value for letter spacing (-10) is way too tight for justified text. Hardly ever should be a nagative value.

hi Marios,
a portion of this tutorial is about a bullets workaround:

l0208.html

This extract gives you an idea. Scroll down to find it.
"Add inline graphics
In this section, you'll create an inline graphic using a symbol from the
library. Inline graphics are graphics contained within a text block. They
remain in the same position within the text even if you move the text block.
Inline graphics can be used with text in a variety of ways. Here, you'll use
inline graphics to create the appearance of text bullets. For the purposes of
this tutorial, a symbol named Bullet has already been created for you."

It looks like the link got broken from text wrapping. Try this one:

In Windows, you can add a bullet point to text (using a font that has a bullet point character) by holding 'Alt' and typing '0149'. If memory serves, I believe the Mac shortcut is Option-8 (corrections welcome).

Am I missing something?

Option 8 is the key command for bullet points in text. (at least on a MAC)

[marios]

Alt+0149 is the bullet point code for windows. Hold down alt and type "0149" on the num-pad.
