            Bug ID: 116190
           Summary: Bulleted lists fail to display properly when converted
                    to .docx format FORMATTING
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.1.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: michael.s.denham at gmail.com

Description:
A bulleted list in LibreOffice will not display properly in a .docx format. The
bullets are replaced by squares. I believe this is because the default symbol
used as a bullet is a character from the Symbol font, rather than the unicode
character for bullet in whatever font the user is currently typing in. This
should be changed to ensure proper compatibility, especially considering that
.docx, whether you like it or not, is the standard file format for virtually
all business.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bulleted list using the default settings.
2. Save document as a .docx file.
3. View document in another processor-- Microsoft Office or Google Docs.

Actual Results:  
The bullets are replaced with hollow squares.

Expected Results:
The bullets should be bullets.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This also happens when opening and editing an existing docx file not created in
LibreOffice, and then saving it again.
