Bullets Added to Items Using Unordered List,UL Style

• Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, versions 1.0, 1.0z, 2.0z
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95 version 7.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

When you convert or create the following type of markup in Internet Assistant

<UL> one <BR> two <P> three </UL>

the <LI> element will be added to each list item so that your results will include a bullet, like this:

* one

  two

where "*" is a bullet character.

CAUSE

Internet Assistant is mapping the list items to the List Bullet,UL style. As a result <LI> tags are added to each item. This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUNDS

Method 1: Use the Blockquote style instead of the Unordered List,UL style.

          Although the Blockquote element is used to indicate a quotation,
          it will render the list items as indented, without the use of
          bullets or other symbols.

          tags in the HTML markup, saving the file as a text file.

MORE INFORMATION

An unordered list is typically a list of items that is marked by bullets or another symbol. The list item element is generally used within the unordered list element. Although many browsers support the use of the unordered list without the inclusion of the list item element, this is considered invalid HTML.

Unlike browsers, Internet Assistant maps the HTML elements to styles. Thus, when IA encounters the <UL>...</UL> element, it adds <LI> elements to the items within the <UL>...</UL> except where it encounters a <BR>.
