I welcome the new bullet-window in 643, but to customize the bullet itself is 
not easy, if at all possible. I guarentee you that no average user will ever 
figure out how to do it!

A customize button would be great.

Please try using the latest OOo 1.1 Rc5, 
Your version already old enough, and many bug fixes since your version 
and 1.1 RC5. If the problem still happend in 1.1 RC5 please report back

Please explain more about your problem, your information is not enough 
to investigate the problem.

When you select bullet/numbering you can choose from 8 types of 
bullets. Here a "customize" button would be great. I found that 
button on the OPTIONS tab; thats not intuitive, you change the type 
of bullet two places?

Further, if I select a bullet, it will not change size up and down 
together with the size of the text. It is not possible to select a 
bullet size in points from the OPTIONS tab where you select the 
actual font.

In MS Word, if you change the size of the text in a numbered 
paragraph, the bullet size changes accordingly.

In Word, on every tab there is a customize button, its easy and 
intuitive to change the type of numbering. In Star/OpenOffice, I am 
force to follow some rules that limits my possibilites quite a bit.

So, the bullet size thing is about the lack of a function, and the 
rest is about usability! 

:O)

Look at the troubles this guy is having, my problem exactly. It is a usability 
issue, to customemize the bullet is just not straightforward enough.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
