Heading with autonumber and square bullet
Using Windows XP, FrameMaker 7.2 I am trying to add a graphic or a square bullet in front of all my headings. Example: ? 1.1 Heading 1 Is there a way to do this in FrameMaker. I placed the square box on my references page and then tried to put it on my numbering line in the paragraph tag. I can’t use the Character tag on the Numbering screen because I use something else there for my headings. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brenda L.

Re: Heading with autonumber and square bullet
Here's a previously posted reply: If you don't want to mess with character codes, set your desired bullet font as a character tag (for example, Dingbats, Wingdings) and use the character tag in the Automnumber field. This way you can merely use the letter that corresponds with the character in the bullet font that you want. For example, the letter 'N' equates with the large square in Zapf Dingbats. You can also use this method to set a different font size for the bullet if you wish, although you may get baseline alignment problems. There is a MIF hack for this which I forget but which has been documented here before.

RE: Heading with autonumber and square bullet
Are you working in structured or unstructured files? You don't say. If structured, you can define a prefix in the EDD that appears before the autonumber, for each heading element (if you have level rules, you may only have one to worry about). Apply appropriate format rules to this for the various heading elements. If unstructured, to my knowledge you can't do this without defining a new paragraph tag for the square bullet. Apply the appropriate info in the numbering properties (desired character as the numbering string, and character format for dingbats). Then, in the pagination properties set it to run into the following paragraph and no punctuation - use a hard space only. (you probably also should make the basic property next paragraph tag be some heading level tag). You will have to insert a copy of this new paragraph (with no text entered) before each heading that you wish to display the square bullet.

Re: Heading with autonumber and square bullet
One way of messing with this would be to add a run-in heading with Dingbats before the other headings. Only allow for it when setting the indents and tabulature of the headings.
