Alan:
How far are you from Michigan? Sounds like you and Tom ought to get together.
You cannot keep bullets from continuing, and Tom cannot keep them going.
<SMILE>
Here is the solution:
Press control plus shift plus S, arrow to "Normal" or "Body Text," your
personal preference. Then press ENTER.
That will override any styles that you may have operating at the time you
otherwise press ENTER.

Subject: How do I turn off Bullets
Hello Ed and Friends,
I am using XP-Home, JAWS 11, and Office 2003.
When I am making a document, I have a problem, If I am making a list,
Bullets appear at the left edge margin.
I have to backspace them out.
I tried using the command control + Q to get rid of that formatting, but it
comes back.
Also, if I am making a numbered list, once I type 1. the next line will have
a 2, then the next line a 3 etc.!
How do I turn off Bullets and numbering?
Thanks very much for any thoughts.
With Best Regards,
Alan
