Bullets not formatting correctly

Kevinp, June 21, 2011 02:01

Hi
It would appear that I am getting confused as to how to insert bullets and a photo in the same note correctly.
I would like to type a few lines of text, then create a bullet list (using the instructions as per your manual that is, starting the line with a -) I then cancel this by pushing the return button twice - all this works correctly however if i then add a photo using the photo icon on the tab bar and close the note then open it again the bullet text is no longer in its original format. They just appear as a line of text.
Can you please advise me how to have bullets and a photo in the same note and to maintain the bullets with the correct format -Many Thanks
Kevin

2) The other issue is that Notebooks by default tries to center images (that is what -> and and

We are aware of these limitations and are trying our best to work around them!
Best,
