InDesign CS2 Help with Bullets

Hi,

I'm having a small issue with bullets in InDesign CS2.

I have them all aligned correctly except I can't seem to figure out how to leave a line space in between each bullet...

eg.

• lsekfjsldkfjsdjf
•
• slkdjskdjlksjd

I have my text justified with the last line aligned to the left, I tried deleting the bullet and putting in a soft return but this makes the last line of each bullet stretch right to the end of the line which looks funny.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I hope that makes sense... if it doesn't email me at jennifer.reid@fivetengroup.com and I will send you a screenshot.

Thanks in advance,
Jen

The problem, as I see it, is that when you insert an extra return
between automatically bulleted items, you get an automatic bullet that
you don't want. The simple fix is to put in an extra return but turn off
Bullets for that paragraph (yes, anything that ends with a return,
including just an empty return, is a paragraph in this case).

A better way to create vertical space is to use Space Before instead of
spacing with extra returns. Space Before or Space After the paragraph
will disappear when the space happens to fall at the top or bottom of a
page.

Even better would be to define your bulleted list item in a style,
complete with bullet and space above.
