Original question:
I have a user that wants to insert a special symbol into editable
symbol text (2001). The way we currently do this is to select the note
(symbol), RMB and select properties, locate the appropriate variable text
in the properties box, open the symbol pallette and then insert the
required special character into the variable text line. An easier way to
edit the same text line is by using the edit-value command. However the
special symbol pallette does not appear when using this option. Does
anyone know of a better method? Is there some sort of option somewhere to
have the special symbol pallette appear when using the "edit-text"command?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Dave
Answer (thanks to Jamie Schmehl):
Hitting CTRL-P will bring up the symbol palette when it is available. When
that doesn't work you can use Macro-Letters. This is enter by typing
CTRL-A to turn it on. certain letters, both capitalized and lower case,
will give you symbols from the symbol palette. For example n = Ø and 3 =
±. If this is what you are looking for let me know and I'll tell you what
letter is for what. Unfortunately I only have a hard copy I made of the
actual commands. Hope that helped!
CTRL-P worked for us. Thanks again.
