   Is there a way to get solid bullets
   in word for windows.  The keycaps.doc provides hollow bullets but they
   are worthless.  Is there a macro that can be used to produce solid
   bullets of any size?  

I've been successful using the method outlined in the Word documentation.
That is, I

1. press Num Lock
2. hold down the Alt key
3. type 0149

The documentation includes instructions for setting up a macro to do
this, which can speed up your work if you use many bullets.

I use the Palatino font (from the ATM Plus Pack) most often, but believe this
should work for other fonts as well.  I use different font sizes to get
different bullet sizes.
