Can't enter alpha character in text

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Alt-097 is simply the character lower-case ‘a’. Enter it, highlight it and then set it to the symbol font (using the character designer preferably!) and it will show you what you want.

Subject: Can't enter alpha character in text

Hi, all. I use FM 10 on a Windows 7 system.

 I am wasting way, way too much time trying to accomplish a simple thing: I am trying to insert a lower case alpha (looks like a fish, or a lower-case a) into text.

The key code Numlock-alt-097, provided in the FrameMaker 9 special character set does not work (it comes out as an "x"). I have gone cross-eyed trying to find the character in the Character Palette, which does not seem to provide a way to search for the character.

If anyone can solve this annoyance for me, I will be very grateful.
