How to get Microsoft Word to find the bullet symbol: Font: Symbol Character code 183?

[roseuz]

How on earth can I get Microsoft word to find this character. Copyin
and pasting the character in the find box doesn't work

The character is the bullet symbol, which you can reproduce by changin
the font to Symbol and by finding it in the symbol list or by pressin
ALT + 0183 (maybe 183 without the zero for others)

I know the solution is mentioned her
http://www.wordbanter.com/showthread.php?t=86902, but I don't quit
understand it because I can't even reproduce the heart symbol that th
user is talking about there

Thank you for trying to help, but I guess in me saying bullet, I hav
misled you. I used that word because the symbol looks like a bullet, bu
only larger.

The numbers you have provided me with are for an actual bullet but no
for the symbol I am asking about.

2022 is the Unicode (hex): That's how it's shown in the symbol list i
Microsoft Word 2007 and the word Unicode precedes the word hex for mos
common symbols.

However, for the symbol I am asking about, the word hex is preceded b
the word Symbol, since it's the Symbol font that's being used. It i
shown like this: Symbol (hex) and 00B7 is shown in the character mod
box. Trying what you said does with these values does not work. (wit
your numbers for the actual bullet, it of course works).

183 is shown in the Character box for Symbol (decimal).

The bottom line: I still need help. If you or anyone can try, I will b
very grateful.

P.S. To your last point, I did already know what you mentioned. I onl
used the word bullet since it's a common symbol, the symbol I am workin
with looks like a bullet, and also because I figured that would attrac
more people to the post.
