SYMPTOMS

When you create a bulleted or numbered list in Publisher 97 and then generate a Web page from the publication, the resulting Web page may not use the same bullet or separating characters that you specified in Publisher, specifically:

In bulleted lists, all bullet characters are converted to round bullets.
In numbered lists, all separating characters are removed and replaced with a single period after each number.

MORE INFORMATION

Bulleted Lists

When Publisher 97 generates HTML code for bulleted lists, it uses the <UL> (unordered list) and <LI> (list item) tags. These tags create an unordered list with round bullets.

Example:

   Bulleted List in Publisher 97
   -----------------------------

   * Line 2

Numbered Lists

In Publisher 97, when you generate HTML code for a numbered list, Publisher uses the <OL TYPE=1> (ordered list, starting with the number 1) and <LI> (list item) tags. These tags create an ordered numbered list (starting at 1) which includes periods as the separators. These tags cause all the various types of separators to be converted to periods. Even the absence of a separator, the None option, is converted to a period.

Example:

   1 This is a test
   2 Line 2

   4)  Line 4
   (5) Line 5
