When you center a bulleted list on a page, the images used for the bullets remain aligned at the left margin of the page. This behavior only occurs when you have applied a theme.

When you create a bulleted list on a page, FrontPage uses standard HTML list tags. When you center the text in the list, FrontPage adds an align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag inside the list. When a Web browser and FrontPage Editor read this code, the entire list appears centered.

When you use a theme on your page, FrontPage uses tables to display the list rather than standard list tags. Therefore, when you center the list text, FrontPage adds the align="center" attribute to the paragraph tag inside the cell. As a result, the cells that contain the text are centered, but the cells that contain the images for the bullets are not.

3.	Click OK.
4.	Select the bulleted list.
5.	On the Edit menu, click Cut.
