I am still using Legacy 7.5 because of still existing bugs and new bugs introduced when some old one are fixed in Legacy 8. Too many of the reports I need to produce are affected by the bugs, that I cannot rely on Legacy 8. I do not have the time or energy to keep two versions up-to-date which would require double entering everything, I have had to stay with Legacy 7.5. I have downloaded it, and periodically transfer a copy of my latest database into Legacy 8, but, so far, it cannot do what I meed as well as Legacy 7.5 Alas!
Anyway, that explanation was so you will know that these instructions are from Legacy 7.5. "The Character Map is used to select characters that are not found on the keyboard. The Character Map can be reached two different ways. The first is by pressing F6 while in any input field. Any characters selected from the Character Map are returned and enter at the current cursor position. The second way to reach the Character Map is to click the small blue button on the Special Characters ribbon on every input screen. The map is then used to select up to eight characters to fill the ribbon. The characters on the ribbon are then immediately available for adding to input fields. See Special Characters for more information. How to Select Characters Double-clicking on any characters in the list, copies the character up to the Characters to Return field at the top. When selecting characters to place in an input field, you can choose as many as you want. For example, if you wanted to enter the word posição you might first enter posi in the field, press F6 and then double-click on the letters ção. This would put the remainder of the word in the Characters to Return field. Clicking the Return Characters button would return the characters and finish the word in the input field. If you are filling the Special Characters ribbon, double-click on up to eight characters that you will be using the most. For example, á é í ó ú ñ."
