Re: Creating Plain-text bullets...

Robert,

It isn't as easy, and depending on the font and character set, the outcome may vary.

Also I wouldn't consider the bullet "plain-text". It is a special character, whose ascii code is above 127. The bullet is just so easy to type, and works so consistently on the Mac, that you probably think of it as being so.

Have a look here: http://tlt.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html

Note their point about needing a keyboard with a numeric keypad. I use a Kinesis ergo keyboard and it is a PITA to type special characters. I assume same would apply for a laptop.

hth,

Brad

Now, on a Windows machine, what character can I use to create a bullet  
(like Option-8 on the Mac)?

Thanks,
