Alt-097 is simply the character lower-case ?a?. Enter it, highlight it and then set it to the symbol font (using the character designer preferably!) and it will show you what you want.

I use FM 10 on a Windows 7 system. I am wasting way, way too much time trying to accomplish a simple thing: I am trying to insert a lower case alpha (looks like a fish, or a lower-case a) into text. The key code Numlock-alt-097, provided in the FrameMaker 9 special character set does not work (it comes out as an "x"). I have gone cross-eyed trying to find the character in the Character Palette, which does not seem to provide a way to search for the character. If anyone can solve this annoyance for me, I will be very grateful. --Nancy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
