I have created a new bullet as a WMF picture (of a red square), imported it
in to Word and used it in a document. (The reason for doing this was because
the GIF image of a red square that is provided in Word does not convert
properly to PDF.)

Now, I decide that the red square that I have created is a bit too big. So I
create a smaller one, with a new file name, and import that as a bullet in
to Word.

Although the new picture shows up in the list of possible bullets, I cannot
get it to replace the previous picture in the document. The larger square
that I created always appears instead of the new smaller square.

I have tried everything I can think of to reset the program as if starting
from fresh but the larger square seems to be lodged in the system somewhere
and I cannot get at it to delete it or otherwise ensure that the new square
is used instead.

Help please!

Create a paragraph style which has the desired picture bullet, and
apply it to the relevant paragraphs. Note that picture bullets cannot
be stored in a style in Word 2000 or earlier.

OK, many thanks. I'll try that.

I am running into exactly the same problem as before. When I try to create a
new style and add the desired bullet, I simply get the big red square, as
before.

I am using Word XP.

Which were your exact steps to create the style? Did you use Modify
Style dialog Format Numbering, Click the Bulleted tab?

Also, what happens when you press Ctrl+Q, to restore paragraph
formatting
(including bullets and numbering)?
