Bullet lists, etc don't seem to work properly
MikeMoretti
In VisualFormat, whenever we try to add a bulleted list, it always bullets the entire text area (even if we select some text to bullet first). The same thing happens with any of the indentation buttons and the justification buttons (like left, right, center), as well as the numbered list button. No matter what we try, we can't just bullet part of the text. Is there some setting that we may have given the wrong value for?
Thanks,

I am not quite sure I follow what is wrong. When you select a bit of text and then click the bullet button in VF it will bullet each item based on hard returns (does a <UL> and then <LI> for each line). This works just fine from what I can tell.
Now maybe what you are running into is that when you click on the bullet button it stays clicked so that you can continue entering new bullets. However if you unclick the bullet button you can enter new text as normal.
Am I missing something?

In our situation, you select a bit of text and then click the bullet button and the entire text within the visual format box gets indented and bulleted, not just the text you selected.

I just tested this again making sure that I hade several lines of text that should not be bulleted and then selected the lines that I needed bulleted and then hit the bullet button. It worked just as I showed in the last post (see the previously attached image).
What version of VF are you using? I am using the VF install that comes from the ektron patch for 2.5 (to fix the problem after the MS security patch).

We're using version 2.6 also with the security patch. I think we got the 2.6 version from Interwoven a few weeks ago. This has been a problem with all the versions though.
Enclosed is a screenshot.

Nevermind. I just found out why that's happening! For some reason, when we "clean" html, we have to remove the para tags <p>. This causes lots of things to break (especially formatting on selected text). I'm going to see why we actually have to remove these tags and hopefully we don't really have to.
Thanks!

HI All,
I have picked up this thread because i am facing exactly the same problem.Whenever we click on Bullet item in visualformat, it simply addes a bullet but it doesn't allow me to add more than 1 bulleted items in the text. I am not sure what is the reason for this problem. We are using TS552 and default Visual format that comes with TS552 i.e.5.5.2 version.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I got the solution in visualformatconfig.xml we need to change the attribute continueparagraph as a true.
