Hello all, Based upon this thread I have submitted an enhancement suggestion to allow a user to select the special characters from any of the Microsoft supported language character maps.
I am not very knowledgeable in this area but from my research it appears there would be a way to 1) select the desired language then the appropriate character from that language's character map, 2) these characters could populate the Special Characters Ribbon to be used in the notes. This seems like it should be doable, but I don't know if that could be programmed to work in Legacy. I hope it can. I also suggested the ribbon be expanded from 8 to 16 characters.
