Greetings. I am trying to move a document from Ami Pro 1.2 to Winword 1.1. This document makes extensive use of bulleted lists, which Ami Pro handles quite nicely with a "bullet" type defined as a style attribute. One can get large or small back circles or squares as a bullet, as well as a couple of other characters. I can't for the life of me figure out how to duplicate this feat in Winword. I've RTM, but when I use the 0149 alt-keypad combination or look in KEYCAPS.DOC for the bullet character, I get what is essentially a lower-case "o", and this isn't acceptable. Is there some other trick I can use? How does Ami Pro do its thing? I'd really like to be able to use a small black dot, about twice the size of a period and moved up from the bottom of the line. Have I just bumped up against (another) limitation in Word for Windows? Any advice would be much appreciated. Email or post, and I'll post a summary of email responses in a few days. Thanks.

I've RTM, but when I use the 0149 alt-keypad combination or look Change to the symbol font, and look in the file KEYCAPS.DOC to find out which ASCII code is the bullet symbol. I haven't done this myself, (I deleted KEYCAPS.DOC, so now I have to find my disks), so I don't know how well it works. BTW, are you sure NumLock is on when you hit ALT-0149? ------------------------------------------------------------ The Time Traveler Your daddy works in porno Now that mommy's not around timur@seas.gwu.edu She used to love her heroin HE891C@GWUVM.GWU.EDU But now she's underground - Guns N' Roses

The Mac word documentation suggests that if youwant a square bullet character, create a graphic frame (W4W = insert picture), and give it a border (format picture). I tried that, and I can't get the frame small enough to be meaningful (it's a lot larger than Helv 10pt, which is what I use.) So, the alternative is to conjure up a little graphic in paintbrush or some such thing, and use that as the bullet character. Remember that you can treat a graphic as a single character. Should work... Probably very poorly for anything that isn't totally made up of horizontal and vertical lines. kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Network Manager, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-4156 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202

Almost the whole font is characters such as circles, triangles, moons, clovers, etc. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | Get your mind out of the gutter | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | you're blocking my periscope | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
