I find that bullets in MSWord(ugh) documents appear in NeoOffice/J as little squares. When created in NO/J and exported as MSWord(spit) they appear as squares when read in Word. When created in NO/J and exported as a pdf file they stay correct. Can anyone tell me if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

There are known OpenOffice.org issues with bullets from MSWord. See http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=22516, for instance.. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

It's very bizarre; last night I opened a document created in (I'm sure Win) Word, and the first level of bullets were boxes but the second level were OK....
I'm a little preturbed to see the OOo devs in the bug Oscar provided claiming that this is a Mac-only issue, because as far as I'm aware it affects all OOo platforms regardless of the MS Word platform (after all, the Word file format is identical across platforms within the proper cycle).
