Every time I use bulleted text, the actual bullet point is a slightly indented and doesn’t perfectly align with the left margin.
Are there any additional way to have greater control text indentation and control hanging bullets? Plug-ins?
Thanks.
Flush left align bulleted text
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a way to adjust text indentation of bulleted lists to make them flush to the left edge of the text frame.
One possible workaround is to not use bulleted lists and just type (or copy/paste) the bullet symbol…
• And make the list manually
• So it’ll stay flush left
I find it ridiculous you can’t set the indentation sizes in 2024! You could set these in InDesign 20 years ago. Especially annoying when you are using them in a limited space, the design will not look like how it is built. This feature is so underbaked.
Hey @Joe_Garlick, thanks for the feedback!
This topic is from a few years ago, but I’ve updated it to a feature request to allow the community to vote for this capability. As we gain more interest, we’ll pass this onto our team for future consideration.

There is no need to “vote” for this.
This is a default standard in every app, even trash-boat ms word.
It’s an HTML / CSS standard reset and obvious use case in Front End design to define stylesheets.
It’s also an ever present annoyance in using this app.
It’s also 2025.
How many more billions does figma shareholder value / the ceo need to move a bullet around / not hijack my text when I manually type in bullet symbols?
Thanks,
Every person ever
