Is there a way to create a bullet list style that uses a combination of a
bullet and text; e.g., a red arrow and the word "important?"

I have a client that wants several styles like this in a new template.
 
Apparently that cannot be done with Microsoft Word.

If you really have to make that work the best thing to do is to create a
table with three columns with invisible gridlines. One column would have the
arrow,m the other one the word important and the n the last one the text you
want to include in that row.

Let me know if this information was useful,

In Word 2007, you can add text before or after a number or bullet character,
but (as far as I can tell) not if you are using a picture bullet.
 
Well, it would depend on how you create the arrow. You can have only one
font and only one color as part of a "numbering" scheme, but if you are
using a font that includes arrows, such as TRN or Arial, you could use one
of those (they're not very satisfactory, but they are arrows) with the word
IMPORTANT; the whole thing would have to be red, however.

Maybe my reply was a bit unclear. By "bullet character" I meant any symbol
that you can add as a character from a font, including the arrows that you
mentioned in your message.

In contrast, "picture bullet" (in Word terminology) is an actual
picture/graphic inserted as a bullet; from Word 2003 (2002?), picture
bullets can be added to a style definition.
 
Good idea (with certain limitations that you have already mentioned). I
belive the workaround suggested by "vttotal" would be easier, though. :-)
