Hi, the subject says it all. Is there a way to get solid bullets in word for windows. The keycaps.doc provides hollow bullets but they are worthless. Is there a macro that can be used to produce solid bullets of any size? Please e-mail me the answers. Thanks in advance for the help. Azam

You can cut and paste it to other places or set up a macro for this task.

I've been successful using the method outlined in the Word documentation.
That is, I
1. press Num Lock
2. hold down the Alt key
3. type 0149
The documentation includes instructions for setting up a macro to do
this, which can speed up your work if you use many bullets.
I use the Palatino font (from the ATM Plus Pack) most often, but believe this
should work for other fonts as well. I use different font sizes to get
different bullet sizes. tim@int13.hf.intel.com (Timothy E. Forsyth) (05/02/91)

Well, actually you should use the Symbol font <Alt>0183, since when you enter the pseudo IBM PC Extended character <Alt>250 it gets translated to the ANSI character <Alt>0183. By using the <Alt>xxx entry method (for IBM PC Ext. or PC-8 character set) instead of the <Alt>0xxx method (of ANSI character set) you will only get a limited number of the Symbol font characters. For example, with the <Alt>xxx method you can only access the sans serif (i.e. Helvetica) Registered Trademark (R) and TM symbols at locations 131 and 132, where with the <Alt>0xxx method you can access all six of the serif (i.e. Times Roman) and sans serif Copyright (C), Registered Trademark (R) and TM symbols at locations 0210, 0211, 0212, 0226, 0227, and 0228. I currently have a document that has two tables that list the ANSI and IBM PC Extended (PC-8) character set encodings, but you have to highlight four seperate areas on the two tables to change the font. I am planning on writing a macro program to do the font change, so the user just has to select the font from a list. I mainly use the document for printing out new sample sheets of Type 1 fonts for use with ATM.
