Creating special bullets

[Reng, Winfried Dr.]

Hi,

Yes, you can enter the hex code directly in dialog boxes.
However, the hex code of the Windows character map often
does not match the character which is then shown in
FrameMaker. If the character is not listed in the FrameMaker
"Character Sets" PDF file, I usually test all characters on
my keyboard until I find the correct one.

Best regards

Winfried
