In a simple brochure I'm creating, I went to outline the text on a box of bulleted points I typed up. The text outlined just fine, but the bullets (looked like hyphens "-") disappeared. However, only 50% of the time. Certain boxes would keep them, others would not. No rhyme or reason evident.
I did find a workaround eventually. If I increased the size of the font, outlined it, undo it, reduce the size back down to the original, and outline again, then it worked just fine.
Thought I would mention it.
