Inserting Special Characters
A special character is one not found on a standard English keyboard. For example, © ¾ æ ç ñ ö ø ¢ are all special characters. To insert a special character:
- Place the cursor where you want the character to appear.
- Choose Insert → Special Character to open the Special Characters dialog.
- Select the characters (from any font or mixture of fonts) you wish to insert, in order, then click OK . The selected characters are shown in the lower left of the dialog. As you select a character, it is shown on the lower right, along with its numerical code.
Different fonts include different special characters. If you do not find a particular special character, try changing the Font selection. |
