Brian, I get around this by using autocorrect and a standard tag. Word's
bulleting and autonumbering features are a nightmare, so I've found ways to
work around them. Anytime Word sees "bullet" in a tag, it goes crazy. And
not in a good way.
To use autocorrect, put the insertion point where you want the bullet, go to
Insert\Symbol, choose the bullet you want, and click Autocorrect, and create
a shortcut key combo (mine in "b]". Click OK or whatever, and you're done.
