=========================================================
1. Create a 1-row, 2-column unruled table.

2. Insert the paragraph that specifies the icon in a frame above in the
first column, and put the associated text in the second column.

3. Adjust the width of first column so it is just wide enough to accommodate
the icon, and adjust the width of the second column so it fills the
remaining width of the text column.

4. Put the cursor inside the table, open the Table Designer, and create a
new table format for the table. Now, you can use it each time you want to
insert an icon.
