Hi Laura,
I like to have both Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer turned on in
System Preferences International - Input Menu.
I find Keyboard Viewer is useful to see how the different modifier keys
work for character selection and to check key combinations for just typing
things (like your
Hi Neil
Aha that was the problem. Try as I might following Ronni's technical
symbols suggestion I just could not find what I felt should be
obvious. I had View menu set to Roman, not realising I should adjust
that in any way. Bingo now I have it. Thank you.

Thanks Neil. I envy you having been able for so long to enjoy being

Perhaps your tip only applies to Leopard, I am still with Tiger.

Hi Laura,
Good to hear your Photo Album project turned out well.
To type the Apple Command symbol:
Open the Character Palette, then select Technical Symbols you
will find it there ⌘

As a fellow tigerite - command-tab (I don't know how to type the
symbol either - but Neil does! - perhaps he'll tell us...) does
indeed bring up the dock - but tab again and things are highlighted

Hi Laura,
No it's not just a leopard thing.
I think you may have misunderstood the command thing. You don't have to
type the Command symbol just press the command key.
So when I say ⌘tab or Command-tab it means to hold down the command/⌘ key
while you press the tab key (or the ~/tilde key for
Hi Ronni
I do have the Input Menu showing in my Menu bar but had chosen
Keyboard View rather than Character Palette. However there is still

Thanks anyway.
