Entering unicode characters directly in an FM 8 document

Geoffrey, The first method described here ("How to enter Unicode characters in Microsoft Windows") http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm does work for me in FM8. You probably need to set the registry key EnableHexNumpad as described. If you don't know your unicode (hex) value

"Adobe FrameMaker 8.0.4 failed to install"

The Adobe Updater recognised that I didn't have the latest update. Captivate and RoboHelp were updated successfully but not FrameMaker. Why is this? I have also set preferences so that the updater will check automatically but it never does. This is a bog standard installation in the defaul

Hi all, is there a way to cross out a cell diagonally in a table, and enter two different headers in the cell (one for the column that goes downwards from the cell, the other one for the row going rightwards from the cell)? Thank you! Mathieu. _

Crossing out a table cell

If you want it to be editable, you can use two tags, one set flush left and the other on the lower, second line, set flush right. If you don't need it to be (easily) editable, set it up as a graphic and import the graphic. Art On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 11:37 AM, mathieu jacquet wrote: > > Hi all, >
