note style inside ordered list incrementing numbering

[3lliot]

I need a note style with an image prefix (a little i icon in a circle). So I've created a list item using a custom image.

However, I sometimes will want to insert that into numbered lists. How can I prevent the image note style from incrementing the list number?

I've tried stopping the list & starting a new one, but then for some reason I can't control the list start number, it forces me to start the list at 1. Is this a bug? It seems bizarre to provide control over list start numbering, & then restrict when you're allowed to use it.

Anyway - if anyone knows how to prefix paragraph styles with a custom image, or to switch off the list number incrementing for a specific list style (I tried setting the 'increment counter' value to 0 in the CSS but that didn't work) - any tips appreciated...

cheers

Don't use a list item for the note style. Instead, use a paragraph, and "embed" the image as a background (use the margin-left CSS property to prevent your text from covering the image). Do note that background images in styles do not work in Word output.

Then, when you create your list, insert the note paragraph style into the list (you will have to use "make paragraph item" on the list item before the note, then press Enter to get a new paragraph, which you will convert into your note class).

Hope that helps!

That works a treat, thanks very much.
