You can also do this quick modification:
Highlight/select the character. Then press the "ALT" and "Up" arrow key.
This will change the vertical position of the selected character(s).
Keep in mind that the line spacing will also adjust by default. To
remedy this, just choose the "Fixed" line spacing option in the
Paragraph Designer.

Subject: How do I add a recurring decimal dot above the last digit of
a number?

Hi, all.
I am using FM 9 (9.0p250) on a Vista system.
This document is written in English (specifically, Palatino Linotype for
general text and Consolas fonts in certain places) and have a need to
add the "recurring decimal" dot above a number. (There isn't any current
need to change this document into another language, by the way.)
For example, 10.999 where the last 9 has a dot on top to mean that there
are more 9's after there - ad infinitum.
How do I do this in a generic way? I.e., add above the last digit of the
number only, without having to do something oddball that could make it
tortuous (since the digit could be different in different places or
could be changed/edited later, etc.).
Thanks!
Z

Would an equation work for you? I think it's Special > Equation, and
then you need to select Small, Medium, Large (based on font, not on
complexity). From there click Symbols, and choose the Diacritical. In
there select the very bottom leftmost symbol. Type a 9. Press Esc, m, p
(note that is case sensitive) and it should work. If needed, go with a
Medium or Large equation. I'd suggest you may want to build all of this
one number in the equation editor.
Hope that helps,
Bernard

Ah! I had not thought about using the equation editor ... I will look
into that.
Thanks!

Good context, thanks!
Specifically, I need to use the "Dots" notation shown in the first
paragraph under Background on that page.

Okay, that worked pretty well for my purpose here.
While not _totally_ convenient (to change the number under the dot is a
bit more work than just applying a character style or font), the end
result is pretty darn decent.
Since all these numbers are in-line with body text, the ESC,m,p is
important, and I also had to do a bit of micro-positioning to make it
look good. I will do some PDF output to make sure everything looks good
there too.
Thanks again, Bernard!
