Create new Perspector list styles
By Tim Hards | February 6, 2008
I previously wrote about changing the properties of existing Perspector lists. Useful to adjust the form of a list selected from the library, but you might want to create a new style of list. Here is how you can create a list from scratch not based on any of the existing list styles.
The first thing to do is insert all of the shapes of the first list item. This could be a single shape or multiple shapes.
One of the shapes will be the main text shape of the list item. Select this shape and type “._[Text]”, i.e. period, underscore, [Text]. This changes the shape into a text placeholder.
Then select all of the shapes that will form the first list item, and choose Tools, Create List.
You will now be shown the Format List dialog box. See the list properties blog posts for a description of each of the properties. Set all the properties for the new list. The list properties can be changed at any time in the future in the same way as any other list.
When you are done setting the list properties, the new list is ready to use. Click the text placeholder shape and press Enter a few times to add some new list items.
If you are using the Professional Edition, you can add the new list to Perspector by opening the Perspector Panel from the Perspector add-in toolbar in PowerPoint, and clicking Add image to User’s Images. After doing this, the list is available for insertion from View User’s Images. The Convert Bullet List command will now also be able to use the new list style.
