Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Hi Nancy, If you look closely at the table, you'll see that the alpha symbol appears in the Symbol font column. In other words, Adobe/Frame is advising that you enter ANSI 097 (for a) and apply the Symbol font. So you understood just fine, you just missed the last step. At the end of the week, that's understandable! On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 3:12 PM, Nancy Allison ma...@verizon.net wrote: Hi.

RE: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
FM 9 and FM 10 should work identically in regard to _this_ font issue, so no need to worry about that in this case. :) Most importantly, from that link document, on page 13, it shows that you need to use the Symbol font to get an alpha (for the value 097).

Re: RE: Can't enter alpha character in text
Hi, all.Well, life turned out to be simpler than I'd feared.(Syed, I didn't get the result you describe. As you stated, Alt-097 produces a lowercase a (in Arial, anyway). When I switch it to Symbol, I got a small uppercase A in what looks like a serif font.)However, I copied and pasted my source text from a Word file into NotePad. The symbol came through. I then copied and pasted it into FrameMaker. The symbol came through again!So I'm all set for now. Gawd, if I never had to struggle with another font issue, I would die happy.Thanks, everyone. Happy Friday!On 07/19/13, Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net)syed.hos...@aeris.net wrote:Alt-097 is simply the character lower-case ‘a’.

I use FM 10on 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 ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.
