Heading with autonumber and square bullet

[Lester C. Smalley]

Are you working in structured or unstructured files?  You don't say.....

If structured, you can define a prefix in the EDD that appears before
the autonumber, for each heading element  (if you have level rules, you
may only have one to worry about).  Apply appropriate format rules to
this for the various heading elements.

If unstructured, to my knowledge you can't do this without defining a
new paragraph tag for the square bullet.  Apply the appropriate info in
the numbering properties (desired character as the numbering string, and
character format for dingbats).  Then, in the pagination properties set
it to run into the following paragraph and no punctuation - use a hard
space only.  (you probably also should make the basic property "next
paragraph" tag be some heading level tag).

You will have to insert a copy of this new paragraph (with no text
entered) before each heading that you wish to display the square bullet.
