Insert wingding symbol in front of text

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:05:12 Z

Hello.

Using Expression Design 2, how do you insert a wingding symbol in front of text lines to make it look like bullets.

The wingding symbol i want to use is this: Ø

I tried copy and paste from word and it just puts a little square there. I can't believe Word 2007 is so much easier than Expression Design to insert a simple symbol.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

If you put the cursor in from of the text you already have typed, choose the wing ding font and type a character it should put the symbol there. That doesn't work for you?

Hmmm... try this:

1 - start ED

2 - start Character Map and select option for Advanced view

3 - find the character and font you want to use then Select and Copy it (button commands in Character Map)

4 - switch over to ED > choose text tool > map font to what you have in Character Map > Paste
