Greetings.  I am trying to move a document from Ami Pro 1.2 to Winword 1.1.
This document makes extensive use of bulleted lists, which Ami Pro handles
quite nicely with a "bullet" type defined as a style attribute.  One can
get large or small back circles or squares as a bullet, as well as a couple
of other characters.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to duplicate this feat in
Winword.  I've RTM, but when I use the 0149 alt-keypad combination or look
in KEYCAPS.DOC for the bullet character, I get what is essentially a
lower-case "o", and this isn't acceptable.  Is there some other trick I can
use?  How does Ami Pro do its thing?  I'd really like to be able to use a
small black dot, about twice the size of a period and moved up from the
bottom of the line.

Have I just bumped up against (another) limitation in Word for Windows?
Any advice would be much appreciated.  Email or post, and I'll post a
summary of email responses in a few days.  Thanks.
