David,
The shortcuts apply to the Symbol character set and not the Standard Windows
character set. Changing your font or creating a symbol character format solve
that part of your difficulties.
Also, the keystroke sequence seems to be off slightly. Instead of Ctrl+q+3, you
should type

Since you already have FrameMaker 5.5, you can upgrade to version 8 for
about $300. Unless you can get an earlier version for much less, this seems
