Those are the Frame dialog box codes, which work in all Frame versions, Unicode (8 up) or not (7 down). >I tried inserting \xa7 \ax8, \xa9 and \xaa and got >a Beta, then a few copyright symbols and then a >register trademark symbol - but what I wanted were >club, diamond, heart and spade. Not sure why you got that; should have been section mark, dieresis, copyright, and feminine ordinal. Those codes would give you the suits in the Symbol font, but AFAIK you can't specify font for those symbols. >Does anyone know how I can get a proper list of >options for defining these Custom symbols for table >footnotes? I've checked the character sets but FM >doesn't seem to use the standard char sets. Use the Unicode for the chars: \x2663 \x2666 \x2665 \x2660 for the solid symbols, \x2667 \x2662 \x2661 \x2664 for the hollow ones. >I'm currently using FM8 from TCS1 on WinXP SP2 For FM8 and above, Unicode code points should work. Haven't tested this specific usage, though. ;-) -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
