Re: Bullet weirdness

Hi Dennis:

Yep. The problem is still that the bullet is using a font that is on one
machine but not the other.

You need to dig into the works to find out which one that is, and either
move the font to the other machine, or change the bullet characters to a
different font :-)

Cheers

What did you think of Shauna's site?

Thanks, John.
Shauna's site looked very useful (I found myself nosing around other
parts after looking into the bullets). The sections on bullets looked
clearly written, and not too complicated, but they were lengthy so I
didn't read them in detail yet. I'm reluctant to mess with styles as
I've never had much luck in my dabbling with them, but it seems I may
have to give in and learn a bit more.

I'm still stumped as to why my simple document is displaying different
only the two computers. I opened the doc on both computers, and
checked the font settings under Format>Style>Modify and both listed
Cambria. I think opened Font Book and both computers have Cambria
installed on them.

Yet only the computer that I originally created the document on will
display the bullets correctly.
