#### 8.3.2.4 Converting bullets

Bullets can be put in as characters in WinHelp 4, according to the documentation. In some cases, bullet characters work better than bitmaps, which can interfere with paragraph indents and spacing:

[HelpOptions]

; Bullets = Help (default, bmc reference) or Standard (using ‘95)

Bullets=Help

; BMPsForDingbats = No (default)

; or Yes (to use bullet.bmp for deco fonts)

BMPsForDingbats=No

The default is Bullets=Help, which uses in-line embedded bitmaps. To use characters instead, set Bullets=Standard. Dingbats and Wingdings usually work in WinHelp 4, but sometimes they come out as text characters. If that happens, use the bitmap instead, by setting BMPsForDingbats=Yes.

If you want to use a different name for your bullet bitmap, you can change the name here:

[Graphics]

BulletFile=mybull.bmp
