Errant Format Removal

Hi Shmuel,

Sorry, it didn't work.:-( At least in FM 11, your method affects only 
the single pgf in which applied. Only way I've found to make it apply 
globally is by removing overrides.

There is no "bullet" style. In the pgf designer, pagination pane, 
under Format, the "Run-in Head-Default Punctuation:" field contains 
the unwanted period.

Thanks anyway,
Karen
