Directed arrows

2012-08-23 Thread Gay Alson 
To avoid confusion with the greater than arrow, we use Wingdings
Alt+0216 for a stylized arrow in procs. For example, Click Start 
SomethingElse  SomethingElse.

I'm trying to define this as a Character style but all I can seem to
accomplish is the font family, not the decimal symbol character code
Alt+0216.

Whaddya wanna bet this is going to an embarrassingly obvious answer?
Please, someone: embarrass me!

TIA,

~~Gay

Character styles define styling (format) characteristics--some combination of 
font family, size, wieght, angle, alignment, spacing, etc.  It does not in any 
way specify particular characters to use. I think what you want to do is define 
a user variable that has the appropriate character style applied as part of its 
defintion.

I would define your character style (ding) and make it bold or
whatever you're doing to the surround text in such a menu path.

Then create a variable (arrow or some other name whose first letter is
unique amongst your variable names) for inserting the arrow using Ctrl+0
(zero). Define it as:

dingØDefault ¶ Font

[Heck... might as well put the spaces in there, too, to save two
keystrokes--I'd go non-breaking for readability, at least for the
leading space. So:]

 dingØDefault ¶ Font 

So now, when you need to type it, you press: Ctrl+0, then A, then Enter.

That should be tons faster than pressing: Alt+0216, Shift+Left Arrow,
F8, D, Enter.

And should you decide to return to the very popular standard of using an
angle bracket, you can just edit the variable toand it will all
change at once.
