FAQ

Q1: What should I do if bullets automatically turn into circled numbers after insertion?

• Solution: This is caused by missing Wingdings or Symbol fonts on the system. Please install these two fonts and restart your computer before using the feature again.

Q2: Numbering cannot start from a value other than 1?

• Solution: Right-click the numbering, select "Start Numbering", and enter the target value. If you need to continue numbering from a previous document, select "Continue Numbering".

Q3: How to remove added bullets or numbering?

• Solution: Click the corresponding bullets or numbering button to remove them.

Notes- When copying and pasting content with bullets/numbering, the formatting will be retained; if not needed, you can paste as plain text.

• When using special fonts (such as Wingdings) as bullets in a document, ensure the recipient has the same font installed on their computer before sharing, otherwise it may display incorrectly.
