Greetings!
Everytime I cross swords with an Apple, something bizarre happens. Argh.
That's what you get when you name your hardware after a fruit.
I've got a Word document that has a bulleted list style which uses a bullet
in shape of an arrowhead type thingee (using ZapfDingbats). But when I print
my document on an Apple Laserwriter, the bullet comes out as a totally
different shape (it looks like a tiny arrow pointing south east).
How do I make sure the bullets I pick in Word (and eventually Frame) match
the font set in the Apple Laserwriter?

Be seeing you,
Dave

They say the pen is mightier than the sword.
But if you miss a deadline, you'd better bring the sword.
