I love all the new features in Opus 7 - wonderful. However, I have always had issues with bullets (from V5). Often they don't seem to be saved correctly in a publication and are missing the next time it's opened for editing. When published in Flex they can be all over the place and on lines that never had bullets on them in the first place. Deleting and reinstating them usually works - but not always. Any one else have problems with this? :cry:

David --

Is the problem you are having with bullets only when you take an old OPUS Pub and work in the new v7, or is this when you start with a new version 7 Pub?

I took a v6.0 stand alone Pub I built last year, and have opened it in v7 without any problems with bullets. I don't do Flex Publications, so I'm wondering if it's only a Flex issue.

If you do a Copy & Paste without formating, you definitely will have to go back and highlight any bullets, then do a Right Mouse click and select "Paragraph" where you do a Hanging Indent to get the text indented correctly. Are you doing Copy & Paste using Formatted text? I've found MS Word formatting is sometimes strange, and is often more difficult to get re-formated the way I want, than if I just take an unformatted Copy & Page and format myself from scratch. I normally use unformated Copy & Paste. The little additional time I spend formating, always is stable (for me).
