Text dialog box (Bullets tab)

This tab specifies bullet options for selected paragraphs in a text block or for the entire text block of a selected shape. Click a bullet style box to select that style. Click the None box to remove bullets from the selected text.

Font size

Specifies the size of the bullet, but does not affect the rest of the text. You can specify the point size (such as 14 pt.) or a percentage (such as 80%). To change the units, type either the point value followed by pt or the percent value followed by %. The relative size is relative to the font size of the first character in the paragraph of the bulleted text.

Text position

Specifies the amount of space between the bullet and its text.

Bullet characters

Type a custom bullet character or characters.

Font

Specifies the font for the custom bullet character or characters.

If you don't specify a font for the custom bullet, Microsoft Office Visio attempts to apply the same font as the first character in the bulleted text. If that font does not support the selected character or characters, another suitable font that supports the character or characters is applied.
