SYMPTOMS
When you center a bulleted list on a page, the images used for the bullets remain aligned at the left margin of the page. This behavior only occurs when you have applied a theme.



CAUSE
When you create a bulleted list on a page, FrontPage uses standard HTML list tags. When you center the text in the list, FrontPage adds an align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag inside the list. When a Web browser and FrontPage Editor read this code, the entire list appears centered.

When you use a theme on your page, FrontPage uses tables to display the list rather than standard list tags. Therefore, when you center the list text, FrontPage adds the align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag inside the cell. As a result, the cells that contain the text are centered, but the cells that contain the images for the bullets are not.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem and center a bulleted list on a page that uses themes, follow these steps:  On the Table menu, click Insert Table.  In the Insert Table dialog box, set the following values:    Item                  Value ---   Rows                  1 Columns              1 Alignment            Center Border Size          0 Cell Padding         0 Cell Spacing         0 Specify Width        Unchecked  Click OK. Select the bulleted list. On the Edit menu, click Cut. Click inside the newly created table.</li> On the Edit menu, click Paste.</li></ol>
