Hello to all WP 7.0 users:

Thank you, Tim, for publishing the bullet as box fix.  The website
seems to be down, right now......I though I would cross-post this with
a more descriptive subject heading.

Just found this on www.wordperfect.com under FAQ.

PROBLEM: Trying to use the small circle from the bullets and number
feature puts empty boxes into the document instead of the small
circle.  The character sets are showing as empty boxes also.


ANSWER: This usually indicates some problems with the WP Fonts,
located in the font list which is found in Start | Settings | Control
Panel.  If the WP Fonts are not found in the list, adding them from
the WordPerfect 7 CD will correct the problem.

The fonts can be found in the COREL\OFFICE7\APPMAN\WKSFILES\FONTS
directory on the CD.  If the fonts are in the list you can do one of
two things.  First delete the fonts, select Install New Font from the
File menu, switch to the directory listed above on the CD and add the
fonts.  If you do not have access to the CD, you can copy the WP Fonts
to a temporary directory, delete the WP Fonts from the font list and
then add them back from the temporary directory.

These are step by step instructions on how to delete the WP fonts from
the font list and add them back:

1.  From your Windows95 desktop click on Start | Settings |Control
Panel | Fonts.

2.  Remove any WP fonts you have left, by selecting the fonts whose
names start with "WP" and deleting them.

3.  Exit back to Windows95 desktop.

4.  Insert your WPWin7 cd and click on Start | Run.  Type in
F:\Setup.exe (or the drive your CD is using, e.g. D:\, E:\).
 Click OK.

5.      Click Next.

6.      Click Yes.

7.  Click Corel WordPerfect 7 | Next.  (You may be prompted to close
down other Corel applications before continuing.)

8.      Verify your Registration Information and click Next.

9.      Click Custom | Next.

10.  Choose Destination Drive and click on Next.

11.  Unmark everything except Required Shared Components (last one in
the list).  When you get warnings unmarking some of the components
click YES.

12.  Double click on Required Components.  Unmark everything except
WordPerfect Character Sets (last one in the list again).  You will get
warnings unmarking every one in the list, just click YES and continue
on.

13.     Click OK | Next | Install.

14.  After the installation is complete, reenter WP and the characters
will show properly.
