I am trying to create 2 different bullet lists with the
style sheet but they don't work that all. I create a new
style called bullet1 it and format>modify>numbering>plain
bullets it and select the style called square. When I
save it and try to use it, there is no bullet at all.

You can't apply a style that relates to a Bulleted List without having a
Bulleted List to apply it to. It is just a style. Create a Bulleted List and
apply the style to it.

Thanks. I appreciate your prompt response,in fact I'm
amazed. To go a little further I am trying to create
what we used to call a nested list. The first top most
bullet is a disk, the second bullet, indented slightly
more is a circle the third bullet is indented slightly
more and is a square. But the problem is if I select
each list item and apply the style to the list, each
style (bu1, bu2, bu3) is displayed with only one bullet
style. The other attributes are applied but thelist has
only one style of bullet. I need to to use a different
style of bullet, Frontpage does not seem to allow me to
do this. Is a better alternative using picture bullets?
 
I'm afraid your description leaves me confused. Do you have a URL to look
at, or can you post the HTML for the Bulleted list?

..bu1 { text-align: left; font-size: 10pt; font-
family: Verdana; list-style-type: disc;
margin: 6 90 }
..bu3 { font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;
margin-left: 126; margin-right: 126 }
..bu2 { font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;
text-align: left; list-style-type:
circle; margin-left: 108; margin-right:
108 }

Here is the HTML and the style description
I tried to separate them into 2 separate and distinct
lists.
 
forgot to include list styles

..bu1 { text-align: left; font-size: 10pt; font-
family: Verdana; list-style-type: disc;
margin: 6 90 }
..bu2 { font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;
text-align: left; list-style-type:
circle; margin-left: 108; margin-right:
108 }
 
Your problem stems from the fact that you put the data in the listitems
inside paragraph tags, and applied the style to the paragraph tag instead of
the listitem. Example:

<li>
<p class="bu2">Does the introduction bring the reader from the world
outside the essay
to the world inside the essay?</p>
</li>

Should be:

<li class="bu2">Does the introduction bring the reader from the world
outside the essay
to the world inside the essay?
</li>
