Go to system preferences, keyboard. On the Keyboard tab check the Show Keyboard and Character Viewer in menu bar Click on the american flag on the tool bar, click the character viewer. In the tiny little search field at the bottom of the window type the word bullet. All the bullets available in every font show up. Click the pulldown labeled Collections: to see the list of collections. Look! one of the lists is labeled Windows Office Compatible. Select that collection and the number of fonts with a bullet is reduced. H. Is this another path to cross platform bullet symbols? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Instead of Find Duplicates I used Resolve Duplicates under the edit menu. But this turned out to not be worth the time. This selected only one version of each font. However I found that the selections were not very rational. For example, I would have three copies of a font with different copyright dates. It would select only one of each variant - normal, bold, italic, Bold italic. but sometimes it would select different copyright dates or unique name. Like regular from 2007 and italic from 2001. So I went through each font family, selected any font older than 2005 (apparently os X had dragged fonts along from my mac purchased in 99) and deleted them. You have to look through the dates in the different fields by selecting Preview/show font info as sometimes the unique name date is older than the copyright date. For example a font family with a 99 version a 2001 version and a 2007 version of Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic. Select any one of the older ones, for example 99 regular, and press delete, then ok. All four subfonts from 99 are deleted. I cleaned out half my fonts this way. Remember to also check User in the Collection Column. I think what helped the most was deleting an ancient symbol font that was in my User collection which made the one under Computer the only Symbol font. This remaining symbol font is copyright 1990-99 Apple, but the unique name is Symbol;6.1d7e3; 2008-05-12. So it appears to be a TT font from 2008. After deleting everything older than 2005 I did not have any duplicates to resolve. I deleted a lot of old fonts I had never used anyway and do not expect to miss them. I followed the instructions on how to setup the fonts for bullets on the link I gave above. I then opened a document that had given me problems and it looked fine in word and openoffice. Bullets were actually bullets! Clean out all those old fonts using the show information option and make sure you have a modern symbol font. That seems to be what worked for me. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I found a solution that works, at least for my system. Having the problem in Word 2004, Word 2011, Open Office both Oracle and free, I took one more crack at a search and on a Microsoft Web Site found a solution. See: http://www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Word/11721 Perhaps it will work for you. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

That extension is called EnhancedGraphicExportDialogs.oxt 0.2.1. That broke in that OO would crash. I tried the sudo command to map the new VM file. still crashed. Rebooted, still crashed. I disabled the extension, rebooted, and now the native export crashes Draw. Only path I now have is do a PDF export, then re-export from Preview.app to a graphic file.

I assume it is too late to be added as in issue for the 3.2 release, I understand the difficulties of adding issues this late in the release cycle. Is there an accepted way to raise the priority of this issue? By my reading of the priority descriptions this should be a P2. Since I do not understand how the priorities are determined in the open source model (I have been the product manager for large proprietary sw projects) I do not know if we have pulled all the levers available to us. My goal would be for it to be in a 3.2.x release rather than wait for 3.3, or ensure that it has high 3.3 priority. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

With my new MacBook and MS 2004 for Mac loaded I thought I would not have to fight this problem and other nuisance formatting problems. The problem does appear although less severely between Word files. It is not uncommon for me to get empty check boxes where a windows Word user created a dot. If I work with the file, do not change the bullet to another character, and send it back, they get it okay. So far they have not complained about documents that I create. Amazing - 25 years after I was selling the original Mac 128K and IBM PC at ComputerLand (now bankrupt) this kind of thing still bugs us. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Installed it with the os x Font Book, no help. Copied it into the /library/fonts folder, no help. I open a word doc and get the clapboard. This issue is enough to make me purchase MS office for os x when I buy a Macbook this year (gag). One thing that seems to work is saving the file as a word doc using the bullet of the arial font. I select it by diving deep down in the bullets formatting menu in OO. This must be made seamless to get casual users to accept OO. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
