I've tried that. I use palatino as a bodytext font and avant guard for
headers both of which are common mac fonts. I used palatino before I up
(down?) graded to Office 98 and option-8 certainly did a bullet under Word
5.1 but it doesn't under Word 98. Using Key Caps, I've looked at these and
a number of other fonts without being able to find the elusive bullet. If
it still does exist as a character, I'd love to know where.
