Bevi, I knew you would say that! LOL

Thanks for clarifying the template, I didn't mention that above.

I haven't had the List into Paragraph issue yet, all my lists have been
okay. Is this a Windows bug? I am working on both, and on my Mac it seems
okay. However, I am also the one with the InDesign bug, so maybe I am lucky
in one thing and not the other!

Love the tip about the copying the bullet list from an accessible PPT
template, thanks! That is a major time saver.

Cheers

Lisa
