Convert style bullets and numbering to text
When you create a style that adds bullets or numbering to paragraphs, these bullets and numbers may be lost if the text is copied or exported to a different application. To avoid this problem, convert the style bullets or numbering to text.
Note: If you convert style bullets in an
InCopy story linked to an InDesign layout, the change may be overridden
when the content is updated in InDesign.
- In the Paragraph Styles panel, select the style that contains the bullets and numbering.
- In the Paragraph Styles panel menu, choose Convert “[style]” Bullets and Numbering to Text.
If you convert bullets and numbering to text in a style on which another style is based (a parent style), the bullets and numbering in the child style are also converted to text.
After you convert numbering to text, you may need to update numbers manually if you edit the text.
