deal breaker but it does take time to put such content into InDesign files.

Hi Laurie,
Not a heavy duty FM user; however, run FM 7 under Parallels w/XP on a
MACBook Pro.
Typed and edited a 300+ page book for a friend recently. No complaints.

Suddenly my bullets look like rectangles set on end.
I cannot think of any change that I made to frame recently.
Our IT department did update some drivers recently, so a print dialog would

That's about it.

Can anyone help?
Thanks.
best,
