[Issue+Workaround] Custom Numbering in Bullets and Numbering

[Nikos]

Hello,

I' d like to make a custom numbering using Greek characters. So instead of
a)
b)
c)
I would have the respective Greek characters.
I found some Russian and Bulgarian numbering styles, but no Greek ones so far. Is it possible to customize the characters to be used?

Thanx

Create a new Character style (open the Stylist - F11), display the characters styles, right click and New). Set the font to your Greek one.
Still in the Stylist, edit the numbering style you want to apply and in the Options tab, select the a, .., aa, .., aaa, ... numbering and in the Character style field, select the one you've created above.

Apply that style to your text (select the text and double-click the numbering style entry in the Stylist.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Thank you Hagar,

got what you mean and it works if I use a font containing only Greek characters.

But maybe you know if this is also possible using one of the standard (I think unicode) fonts like Times New Roman or Thorndale etc. (I only have special Greek fonts on the W2K and they are not really very popular).

Try Windows Symbol font.

Try Windows Symbol font.

Nice idea, but unfortunately using the windows symbol font does not result in an alphabetically (as in Greek alphabet) ordered numbering

Perhaps you should file an enhancement request to have that feature: [Tutorial] Reporting bugs. Weird to have Bulgarian list and not Greek.
