The Mac word documentation suggests that if youwant a square bullet
character, create a graphic frame (W4W = insert picture), and give it
a border (format picture). I tried that, and I can't get the frame
small enough to be meaningful (it's a lot larger than Helv 10pt, which
is what I use.) So, the alternative is to conjure up a little graphic
in paintbrush or some such thing, and use that as the bullet
character. Remember that you can treat a graphic as a single
character.

Should work... Probably very poorly for anything that isn't totally
made up of horizontal and vertical lines.
