Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems

[Lise Bible]

Fei Min,
I'm on Frame 8, so I have no solutions for Frame 10, but have you tried
using Windows Character Map (under Programs>Accessories>System Tools) as a
workaround? I was able to find and copy the ∞ symbol from there.
Not a terribly elegant solution, but an alternative to copy/paste from
Word...
