Hello all,

I am using oracle database 10.2.0.1.0 with oracle developer 10.1.2.0.2 on windows xp.
I have a assignment in which i have to insert data in text field using bullets.
Means user would like to use bullets while inserting data in text field.
How can i use bullet option (as we have in MS word) in oracle forms.

Hope that i will get a solution
Thanks in Advance

Regards,
Atif Mahmood

thanks for reply
but using my own character does not give the feature of adding bullets to the user.
for example,

if we have text like ,

this is the first line
this is the second line
this is the third line

and user wants to insert it like below

1. this is the first line
1.1 this is the second line
1.1.1 this is the third line

and also we want to show this in report like

1. this is the first line
1.1 this is the second line
1.1.1 this is the third line
