Problems with special characters

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Phil...

Our ListShortcuts plugin (free) lists all of the shortcuts available in 
your installation of FrameMaker.

    http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/listshortcuts.php

It does this by looping through all of the "commands" defined in Frame 
and builds a list of those that have shortcuts. This includes all of the 
special characters (as far as I know it lists them all). These are not 
ordered in any way other than how they are defined internally in Frame, 
so it may take some time to locate what you're looking for. For example, 
the following are listed as commands (some have multiple shortcuts 
defined, and some appear to have multiple commands that result in the 
same character) ..

GraveA
GraveE
GraveI
GraveO
GraveU
Diaeresisa
Diaeresise
Diaeresisi
Diaeresiso
Diaeresisu
Diaeresisy

CharGermanDoubleS
CharRegister
CharCopyright
CharTrademark
CharAcute
CharDiaeresis
CharArrowUp
DiphthongAE
ObliqueO
CharDegree
CharPlusMinus
CharSecond
CharGreaterEqual
CharYen
CharProportional
CharPartialDiff
CharBigBullet
CharDivision
CharNotEqual

Regards,

...scott
