Description johnl53 2005-06-04 10:48:26 UTC 
When opening an M$ Word .Doc with bullets OR when assigning a bullet in an
OpenOffice text document, the default bullet is a non-printing character.

In OpenOffice Ver 1.1.4 the workaround is to go to Format->Tools->Options,
Select "OpenOffice.org Writer", "Basic Fonts" and change the "List" font to
"Wingdings". Once you do this bullets display correctly in the document AND in
the  Format->"Bullets and Numbering" dialog.

In OpenOffice 1.9.104 the above workaround has no effect.

Choosing Format->Styles and Formatting  (to show stylist) then select style
"Bullets", right click and select "Modify" the dialog shows the font to be
"StarSymbol" There is a message below the sample text box showing "This font has
not been installed. The closest available font will be used." Changing the font
to something like "Wingdings" or "Symbol" has no effect.

A problem, which only occurs on win98 / Win ME. See also issue 47009.
