How can I create customized bullets in Engage (e.g., arrows, checkmarks, dollar signs, etc.)?
It looks like I can only get the one type of bullet from the toolbar -- the very boring black dot. Considering how many different bullets PowerPoint allows, is there any way to change this?
Hi Tom! There is not a built-in way to do so in Engage. I've actually not seen bullets utilized very often in Engage either. What interaction were you looking to utilize and what were you trying to create as there is probably another way to do what you wish We have a very creative community here.
Using different fonts seems the way to go. I created these bullets below using a word doc. There are no actual bullets involved (i.e. list tool is not used). The first character in each paragraph/line is a wingding square. Then I used the ruler tabs to set my horizontal spacing. All the styling pasted well into Engage.
I think a good way to work might be to set up a template in a word doc with all your font styles, compose master content there, then copy/paste in your formatted text when ready... bypassing all of Engage's text formatting options since they are so limited.

I have a bulleted list (see attached). That seems like a good way to get that info across.
Hi Tom! Check out something similar in Powerpoint, this may assist you in allowing more creativity to an interaction
