How do I insert special characters such as the copyright symbol, something similar to @, but with the character c inside? AS well as the registered symbol?

Insert it where?

Calculation, text field,

Example of what you are trying to do please?

Hi Lee,

Insert this special character not in calculation or field, but a text statement.

Example, "Copyright X 2006", and I would like to insert the special character in place of X in the statement above.

Thanks

can't you just type it in?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to make this:

Copyright X 2006

this:

copyright © 2006

If you are pasting, or typing, © into the Text Field, you shouldn't have a problem.

If you are inserting it via using a calculation, you might need to enclose it in quotes, or use a Global text field and place it in it?

BTW, © is "Option G" on the Mac, probably "Alt G" on Windows.

HTH

Hi Lee,

I wish I could just type the special character, but having screened through the entire keyboard,I couldn't find that special character. "Alt G" on Windows didn't help either. However, because of your suggestion, I think I know how to insert that special character on Windows, I believe you have to use the "Alt (number for ASCII character)" combination to get the right character. Maybe there is an easier way?

Thanks anyway.

Windows always seems to confuse things.

You are in Luck, there are a lot of experts on this list that do use Windows, and so I'm sure that one of them will let you know if there is a better or easier way.
