Cannot insert the infinity symbol and other special character problems

[Ted Steinberg]

I am using FrameMaker 12, unstructured = I don't see utilities under
the file menu. Where would I find this ability to do diacriticals et al,
and TM, Registered, et al?

My workaround is to use windows character map, from which I copy and paste
the symbol I want, regardless of how it looks, into my frame document, then
I go to Frame's Character Catalogue and select the "default paragraph font"
and that does it. I have not had an incompatibility issue because I think I
am using well known adobe fonts. Am l AOK with this or an accident waiting
to happen?

*Is the above workaround the best solution or does Frame 12 have a better
one?*

Thanks,

TED
