Substituting a check box for a bullet in FrameMaker

[Art Campbell]

Pretty easy....

Create a new character format with everything set to AsIs except the
font, which needs to be ZapfDingbats.

Then modify the Bullet para tag slightly: change the Autonumber string
to something like this, so that it contains a lower case o: (o\t).
Paint the o with the new Zapf character format and save as a new para
tag. Paint the tab stop with the Default character tag so you switch
back to a text font after the box. Save again.

That's it.
