Thanks, Ann. I got all excited when I read your advice and immediately went to follow it, opening a Word document. The automatic bullet is unchecked--but maybe that's just for the document I opened. I'll check next time it shows up. It only shows up on headings, and I've tried changing the headings to different ones but when I go back to the font I want the bullet appears again way over on the side. Anyway, I'm keeping your advice on my desktop so I don't forget the next time I have the problem. Many thanks. G.Cindy --- Ann Parsons <akp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > G.
