Hi! I was happily using ppage 2.0 last night when I wanted to use "bullets" (see the appendix in the manual for a description of these). Gold disk even recommend using bullets in their section on design. However, I couldn't find *ANY* information in the manual on how to actually insert bullets into text! Any help (or a menual page num) would be gratefully appreciated. Roddi

If having a 'bullet' also requires special formatting (and that is were you are stumped) maybe this is what you are looking for... * some text as an example of what a 'bullet' is unused for is what this paragraph is attempting to display. * This would be a second paragraph to show how you might want to format a number of paragraphs using a 'bullet' symbol at the front of each paragraph. If the above is what you are looking to do then put the 'bullet' symbols in one box and have the rest of the text in a completely different box. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Darrell Grainger (darrell@comspec) |Comspec Communications Inc. | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |Disclaimer: My opinions do not | | (416)617-1475 (416)633-5605 |reflect those of my employer. | |------------------------------------+-------------------------------| | Motorcycle: Honda PC800 | Computer:Amiga 2000 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're referring to the bullet character, usually to used to denote different points in a list of some kind, you just need to know the appropriate keystroke to find it. I don't have ProPage 2.0 yet, but in version 1 anyway, there is a list of "weird" characters and their correspondence with ALT keys. I think the bullet is alt-8 or alt-shift-8, something like that. -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight" -R.E.M.

FYI, many fonts include a fairly good bullet as a character. Type Alt-Shift-8 to get it. Not all fonts, though. ---------- Mark Gardner UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!markg Internet: undrground!markg@amix.commodore.com
