I am trying to create a template in Publisher for which i want to customise
bullets as user define pictures. I am not able to do so. Is there any way out
for this? Format copying from Word document doesnt seem to work also.

Might try finding a dingbat font that suits you. Scaling down an image is an option.
Bullets are fonts.

Resize your image, make your list, indent the list, arrange the image so it lines up
with your entries, you will have to send the image to the back. You probably will
want to change the paragraph spacing. If you have many entries, select all the images
and group so they will stay in place.

The only way you can convert an image into a real bullet is to get yourself a font
making application.

Thanks Mary, but i am creating a style for template and this method might not
be useful.

Lavanya -

I did this once but it is a pain in the tuchis. What I wanted was a standard
symbol but I wanted it rotated about 45? CCW. Couldn't do it as a symbol - I
had to save it as a separate picture and insert it where I wanted it. (Thank
heavens I was using Publisher and not Word!)

It's not going to be easy nor will it be done cleanly. You're just going to
have to either decide that it's just not worth it or bite the bullet (no pun
intended) and struggle thru it. I bit that bullet and I'm glad I did. It
gave me the look I wanted. Did anyone else seem to notice? No - but the
point is that I got the look I wanted and I was pleased.
