In most design programs when you hit the circle button you have to use your mouse to draw the circle on the screen it won't magically put a circle on the screen where your typing..

Try holding the shift key down and click and drag your mouse cursor to get a proportionate circle..

hope that help..works that way in Photo Shop and Illy anyways...

Yeah thanks i did know about that for circles. Im not looking for a separate circle i would like it part of the text. The button i have circled in the file below is the one i think should do what i want but its not.

what version of sb are you using? according to this page in the learning guide, you should be able to click on the bullet at the bottom of the screen and it will insert it, but i cannot get it to work for me.

Thanks CutMe , I had never paid any attention to that & that will be useful :thumbsup: . It works for me . I just reloaded SB from Jay's link ( UK with the patch ) & everything works great . Whenever the evolved SB gets released , I am sure things will work much better . It was over a year ago that I heard the lawsuit was settled & development was being done .

that's strange, i can get some of the characters to work but not the bullet point the op was trying to get.

in SB when the font box opens a separate box opens at the bottom you can scroll through all the characters including bullets.

click with mouse on character .

I did it with the decal in my back window.
