SYMPTOMS
========
When you attempt to change the bullet type in a Web page, Microsoft Word 97 adds
a second bullet instead of changing the first bullet.
CAUSE
=====
In HTML documents, bullets are actually graphic images; therefore, every time
you select another bullet, Word adds another graphic. This lets you add as many
bullets per line as you want.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior, you must first delete the original bullet, and
then add the new bullet. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click to select the bullet, and press DELETE.
2. On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Bulleted
tab.
3. Click to select a bullet type and click OK.
