Conversion of Bullets and NumberingLast reviewed: February 5, 1998Article ID: Q107713 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYWord 6.0 for Windows implements Bullets And Numbering as paragraph formatting. This is different than the symbol character implementation in earlier versions of Word. Since Bullets And Numbering are considered paragraph formatting, they will not be translated in documents converted using the Text Only converter. The following table outlines the affect of different conversions on Bullets And Numbering for Word 2.x and 6.0. For additional information on conversions, see CONVINFO.DOC, which ships with Word 2.x or README.DOC, which ships with Word 6.0 for Windows.
