Hi :) So when the bullet-points looked fine on my system it was because i had the proprietary 'MS' fonts installed? Regards from Tom :)

Since this worked, it may be helpful to others to have it articulated: o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | Fonts. o Tick "Apply replacement table". o Enter "Symbol" and "OpenSymbol". > I don't mean to be too inquisitive, but does someone know why and how this is > the solution, ... I'm guessing, but is it possible that the Symbol font in the generating system (wherever it comes from) has the bullets in a different place from where they are in the version of Symbol you have - but that OpenSymbol has them in the same place? Is it a Unicode issue? Remember that word processor documents (generally) carry font names, not the fonts themselves. > ... and could OpenSymbol be made the default so that compatibility with Word > documents will be improved? I cannot know whether that would generally be an improvement. But it's what you have arranged by this setting, of course. I trust this helps.
