Is there a way to create a bulleted text image list?

Something to this effect

Groceries:
*Apple
*Orange
*Banana

Thanks again for the quick reply. That's actually what I'm using now for my text image. I was hoping there was an actual way of displaying a bullet instead of using an asterisk in its place.

Fred's last example uses a bullet character. Bullets are simply characters, just like asterisks. If you are on Unix or Mac, it should work fine. If on Windows, it is a bit more clumsy; see my page on Utf8 text.
