Bullets in report

[Guest]

I am making a report that I am using as a letter. (I know, Word is used for
letters, but my data is a little more complicated than that and I can't
figure out how to merge it.) In this letter, there is about 3 paragraphs
that has no data so I am making a big label for this section. Can I format
the label to look like 3 different paragraphs or do I have to use 3 different
labels? Can I put bullets or numbers in this label. I tried copying and
pasting from Word but it added a strange character where the tab is. Any
suggestions? Any new thoughts, maybe there is an easier way to do this?
I am new and learning Access, teaching myself. I did find how to put
bullets in a data access page, but this is new to me, should I be using a
data access page for this, or is a report ok?

You can start a new line in a label's Caption by using
Ctrl+Enter. Twice for a paragraph.

Since standard Access controls only allow for a single font
and set of properties, using a bullet depends on whether the
font includes the desired character or not. If it does, you
can enter it by holding the Alt key down and type a 0
followed by the character's Ascii code, but it might be just
as good to settle for using the asterick.

The Bullet ¡E is Alt+0149 (using the number keypad)
