[AccessD] Creating a Bulleted List

Well, I'm trying to gild the lily by making it look like a hanging indent -
that is, a multi-line section of text would all be left adjusted with the
bullet to the left of the first line.  Just pre-pending the bullet to the
text will work, I suppose, if I can't get it to look like a bulleted list in
a Word doc.
