Hello Bob, Tools > Customize > Keyboard > Shortcut keys will allow you to modify almost any key on your keyboard... Shortcut keys: Shift+F10 (or some other key that is open and you like) – Category: Insert – Function: Special Character – Click Modify - Now whenever you do Shift+F10 you will get the Special Characters table. - After you've inserted one SC, Shift+F10 will open back up to the same Font and Subset that you'd selected previously.
