You can also do this quick modification: Highlight/select the character. Then press the "ALT" and "Up" arrow key. This will change the vertical position of the selected character(s). Keep in mind that the line spacing will also adjust by default. To remedy this, just choose the "Fixed" line spacing option in the Paragraph Designer.

Message-ID: <b4c122abc82f8744a7e552ca009ba22a07b43b6...@ex-be-019-sfo.shared.themess agecenter.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, all. I am using FM 9 (9.0p250) on a Vista system. This document is written in English (specifically, Palatino Linotype for general text and Consolas fonts in certain places) and have a need to add the "recurring decimal" dot above a number. (There isn't any current need to change this document into another language, by the way.) For example, 10.999 where the last 9 has a dot on top to mean that there are more 9's after there - ad infinitum. How do I do this in a generic way? I.e., add above the last digit of the number only, without having to do something oddball that could make it tortuous (since the digit could be different in different places or could be changed/edited later, etc.). Thanks!

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Would an equation work for you? I think it's Special > Equation, and then you need to select Small, Medium, Large (based on font, not on complexity). From there click Symbols, and choose the Diacritical. In there select the very bottom leftmost symbol. Type a 9. Press Esc, m, p (note that is case sensitive) and it should work. If needed, go with a Medium or Large equation. I'd suggest you may want to build all of this one number in the equation editor.

Specifically, I need to use the "Dots" notation shown in the first paragraph under Background on that page.

While not _totally_ convenient (to change the number under the dot is a bit more work than just applying a character style or font), the end result is pretty darn decent. Since all these numbers are in-line with body text, the ESC,m,p is important, and I also had to do a bit of micro-positioning to make it look good. I will do some PDF output to make sure everything looks good there too. Thanks again, Bernard!
