how do I convert a graphic into a symbol?

[ymonmouth]

Though Ii can use a graphic as a bullet I am severely limited in its use in a
text box, or placment anywhere or font and color changes if word recognizes
it as picture. how do i make it into a symbol (eg like a wingding) so I can
be free to insert it anywhere without limitations

There's a character editor built into Windows (XP and Vista) called
eudcedit.exe. For brief instructions, see
http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-xp/how-to-use-private-character-editor-eudcedit-in-vistaxp/
or http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/privchar.htm.

If that doesn't suit you, check Google for "font editor". There are free ones
and commercial ones, with an assortment of features.
