Text problems

Hi
Does anyone know why I keep getting weird hieroglyphics why I use bullet points, ?, ! etc.
They view properly in Freeway but go astray when I upload.

Regards

“Hieroglyphics” usually means that your server is setting one character encoding header, and your document is setting a different one. If your document is set to Automatic, change it to Unicode, or Windows Latin if Unicode doesn’t fix it. Note that you will have to make this change (using the Output tab of the Page Inspector) on every page (or master page, ideally) but you also need to change it at the Document Setup level so that all future pages you make inherit that setting.

Hi Walt
Changing to Unicode had no effect. Changing to Windows Latin changed the symbols but not to bullet points. I also tried Western Mac and that changed the symbols again but not to bullet points.

Can you post a link to an online example?

Hi Dave
Not sure how but the problem seems to have resolved itself. To get over the initial problem with the bullet points I deleted them and used the list indent.
When you asked for an online link I changed it back and uploaded it but the problem has not reoccured.
But thanks for your interest.

Create your own list.
Use command-shift-$ to set a bullet point.

This shortcut is different on the US keyboard, where it is Shift-Option-8.

But you shouldn’t try to style a list like this, not if you really mean for it to be a list (in the semantic sense). Using a bullet character will not get you the proper list indentation and hanging item markers, and it won’t mean the same thing to Google or visually-disabled visitors as a real list.

Oh yeah. Shift-option-8 is the degree symbol. (In both US and UK English keyboards.)
