When publishing a Powerpoint presentation as .htm my
bullets which were diamonds become the letter "u". Why?
Can I prevent this?
 
Dan,
What version of PowerPoint? Were your bullets text or pictures? If they were
text, were they an unusual font? Is the presentation somewhere on the web
that we can look at the HTM, etc.?

(Lots of questions, I know. But the more we know the better we can help.)

They were just plain old bullets included in the
PowerPoint presentation. These were solid red diamonds.
I had done this a few months before and the same thing
happened to me.

This particular presentation is one that I did not
create. I simply saved it as .htm and uploaded it to the
web. You can see it at

Notice that the little "u"'s in front of each paragraph
are supposed to be diamonds...

THANKS!!

Dan
 
Plain old bullets in your example were generated in the font Monotype Sorts as
">u<" which if the font is installed, should give you your red diamond shape.
You might consider changing your bullets to a more common font like Symbols.

Thanks Michael - that's what I thought was going on when I posted the
questions. You beat me to the answers, as usual :)

Thanks, Michael and Kathy!

Does this mean that in Powerpoint one can set the Font
for Bullets independently from the Text font? If so, how?
