Adding bullets to text

You can use bulleted lists to format information. You can wrap text around bullets, or you can offset a bullet from text to create a hanging indent. CorelDRAW lets you customize bullets by changing their size, position, and distance from text. You can also change the spacing between items in a bulleted list. For more information, see To adjust interline spacing.
