Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102095
Bullet lists change to carets after save/open with .doc file format

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate, but didn't see anyone specifically reporting 'carets' as the replacement character for bullets. I have been using OpenOffice 3 Writer for a while and have seen the same issue in various versions and pre-release versions. I save files in .doc format as I often share with Windows users. If I create a document with a bullet list it displays OK. If I save (as .doc) and then reopen, the bullet character is replaced by the caret symbol. As far as I can tell the windows users see the bullet list normally. It would be cool if bullet lists displayed as bullets.
