Special character as bullet

[Nina Rogers]

I want to create a paragraph style for bullets, but I want to use a
pointing finger instead of a traditional black dot for the bullet. I'm
in Framemaker 7 (unstructured), and my beloved Framemaker 7 guide says,
"Another way to set up bullets involves taking advantage of the
character formatting that's available. You can, for example create a
character format that applies Zapf Dingbats or Wingdings font, and then
use one of the dingbats or wingdings to make a special bullet (such as
diamonds or pointing hands)."

This is exactly what I want to do! Unfortunately, the paragraph ends
there and doesn't explain how to do it. :-(

I have the Character_Sets.pdf file open from my Online Manuals
directory, and it looks like the pointing hand is the dingbats graphic
for Hex code \x2b. (If, that is, I'm reading this right, which may not
be the case.) But that's also the hex code for the "plus" sign. I can
create a bullet that uses that plus sign, but I don't know how to make
the jump to the pointing hand.

I guess I could create a character style for dingbats and manually type
the character for the pointing hand ... but then I would need to change
the font manually (I think) for the rest of the text.

My question: How do I create a paragraph style that will make the hand
appear as a bullet, but will allow me to type any additional text in my
usual font (in this case, Times New Roman)?

I'm sure I could figure this out eventually, but it's Friday and my
brain is fried ... and I really want to get this format in place before
I leave today.

Thanks so much for your help.
