Problem Using Special Bullet Symbol
Hi, I'd like to use a special bullet symbol for my bulleted lists. I've chosen Black Right-Pointing Pointer. Using Adobe's To use a special bullet symbol online help topic, I create my bullet list. I get a question mark instead of a pointer: ? This is a bulleted list ? This is a bulleted list Wingdings font works fine. But, I can't use this font because I'm using WebWorks and because Wingdings isn't a default font. So, I'm going for the standard. I tried Arial, Times New Roman, and Garamond, but all produce the same results (a question mark). What am I doing wrong? *My Paragraph Tag:* Autonumber Format = ?\t Character Format = ArrowFont *My Character Format:* Arial Font As-is (for remainder) ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

It is using an Arial question mark glyph as the bullet character for your list items. In order to use a special character, that chanracter has to exist in the font you use. The pointer glyph you chose in the symbol font Wingdings maps to the character number for a question mark in text fonts. So you either have to find a symbol font that you can use that has a character you like (and change the autonumber character and font spec to match), or you have to pick a character in a text font that you can live with. -FR ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
