Vertical Alignment of Bullets
I have just started working in a new position where I have to work with an
existing Word template that seems to have some issues. One of my first orders of business will be to get it cleaned up, but I have to get a document based on this template out ASAP so I'm trying to find a workaround (which will hopefully also help me solve the problem for good!). This document is unlike other Word documents I've worked with before - it's for a bulletin, and it's laid out almost like a Publisher document (and no, unfortunately I can't get Publisher - that would be much easier). In one section there's space for a bulleted list, but it's doing something very strange - the bullets don't align with the text vertically. That is, the bulleted items are each 2 lines, and the bullet falls somewhere in the middle of the two lines. It's like the vertical alignment is off, but I can't see anywhere to change this alignment. There are three bullets, and each is set to 0 pt before/2 pt after/multiple line spacing @ 1.2, and left alignment with a hanging indent of 0.1". What's strange as well is that if I highlight the last bullet item, the height appears to be much larger (that is, it seems like there's 12 pt or more "after" the bullet), but this doesn't appear to be so from the paragraph dialog box. I'm working in Word 2000 (which is driving me crazy!). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Jen |

Vertical Alignment of Bullets
You could check the following in the style definition:
Has the bullet been formatted with a lowered position (Font Character Spacing tab Position)? Or alternatively: Has the text been formatted with a raised position (Font Character Spacing tab Position)? I could reproduce something like your description using both methods. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Jen" wrote: I have just started working in a new position where I have to work with an existing Word template that seems to have some issues.
