Typing special characters

You use combinations of keys to type bullets, dashes, fixed-width spaces, and accented characters such as ç, ñ, and ö. If the Symbol font is installed on your system, you can type any of the symbols in that font--for example, " , , and •. If the Zapf Dingbats font (or any other "picture" font) is installed on your system, you can type any of the special symbols in that font--for example, s , n 3. In FrameMaker 8, character (ALT) sequences are not implemented for Dingbats and Symbol fonts, as Microsoft® Windows® provides Unicode equivalents of codepage 1252 for these fonts, by default. The character (ALT) sequences are implemented for the MakerRoman font family only.

You can type bullets and dashes. You can also type fixed-width spaces. For a list of characters in the Symbol and Zapf Dingbats fonts, a list of accented characters in the standard character set, and information on inserting the Euro currency symbol, see the online manual FrameMaker Character Sets.

Note: Some special characters are entered or displayed differently in dialog boxes. In Windows, you enter a sequence of characters beginning with a backslash (); these sequences are listed in Appendix A: Typing in dialog boxes. On UNIX systems, the backslash sequences may appear in text boxes, even though you don't have to type the sequences to enter the characters

方法一：

例如我们要键入摄氏度小圈的方法是：在英文输入法状态下，按Ctrl+Q，Shift+1，就可以了。其实，在FRAMEMAKER里，“Ctrl+Q + 键入任意字母”，以及“Ctrl+Q, Shirt+任意字母”，都会打出很多特殊字符。

方法二：

“开始”、“程序”、“附件”、“系统工具”打开字符映射表，找到相应的字符进行复制-粘贴。
