SYMPTOMS
When you click the Bullets button on the toolbar in Works Word Processor, the bullet in the document may appear as a random symbol instead of the default black dot.

You may also encounter this symptom when you click Paragraph on the Format menu, and then click Bulleted on the Indents and Alignment tab.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the TrueType Symbol font or the bitmap Symbol font is missing or damaged.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, use the Fonts tool in Control Panel to reinstall the Symbol fonts.

For additional information about how to reinstall TrueType fonts in Microsoft Windows 3.x, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
When you create a bullet, Works attempts to insert the bullet character from the Symbol font (character #0183). If neither Symbol font is available, Works uses the same character (character #0183) from a different font.
