Hi Solveig,
Perhaps I should say what I'm trying to do: basically I'm sitting in lectures taking my lecture as dictation. I do use styles, honest. But when I'm typing like this I'm typing fast, so the best way to apply a bullet is shift+F12: whack, no mucking. Also, using the styles method I've not yet been able to work out how to get the bullet character that is the chunky bullet (2nd to top left pane in the "Bullets" tab via "Format -> Bullets and Numbering..." - I know the "List 1" bullet style character is a chunky bullet, but it's not the same one and is about twice the size and (imho) ugly. (Perhaps a minor irritation, but indicative of the larger problem of these two bullet/numbering systems not working to support each other.) Anyway, so what I'm after is a comprehensive explanation of how to set up the default bullets via "Format -> Bullets and Numbering..." so they behave in a consistent and predictable way. Something, despite many peoples best endeavours (including yourself) that seems to be completely elusive - thus, my urge to list a bug (at least against documentation). Thanks & happy bulleting:) Morgan. -- Morgan Read NEW ZEALAND <mailto:mstuffATplDOTnet> get a life; GET FIREFOX! <www.getfirefox.com> WHY ME?
