SUMMARY
The Bullet feature in Works for Windows 4.0 has been enhanced in the following ways:


 * The Bullet toolbar button now adds or removes bullets.
 * You can now change the size of the bullet.
 * You can choose your bullet from 24 different styles.
 * You can define your own bullet characters (see below for instructions on how to do this).



MORE INFORMATION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To change a bullet character, do the following:

 Exit Works. Click Start and then click Run. Type the following and click OK:

regedit

 On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File. Select a name and location for the file. On the Edit menu, click Find.  In the Find What box, type the following and click Find Next:

bullets

You should be at the following location <pre class="fixed_text">My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Works\4.0\Word Processor\Bullets and you should see entries for DefBullet, DefBulletSize and Hanging Indent. If not, click Find Next on the Edit menu. </li> On the Edit menu, point to New and then click String Value.</li> Type the following and press ENTER:

Bullet1

This replaces the first bullet in the bullet dialog box in Works. To replace other bullets, enter new string values, naming each Bullet followed by the number. For example, Bullet2 will replace the second bullet in the bullet dialog box.</li> Double-click Bullet1 to open the Edit String dialog box.</li> In the Value data box, type the following:

Wingdings, 0034

The value Wingdings is the font to be used. You can use any True Type Font that you wish. The number 0034 refers to an ANSI character number for the font. In this case, the 0034 is the 34th character of the Wingdings font, which is the scissors character. The Character number must be 4 digits long with leading zeros.

One way to obtain the ANSI character number is to install and run the Windows Character Map accessory. Character Map is available only on the CD version of Windows 95 and must be installed using the Custom setup option or through the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.</li> On the Registry menu, click EXIT.</li></ol>
