[Framers] [EXTERNAL] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12)

[Lin Sims]

Variables are useful. 😁

You can also check out Klaus Daube's ETB Insert Symbols plugin (
https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker81.html), which is a subset of his Extended
Toolbars, that allows you to create a list of special characters for
insertion (3 clicks, ish), or you can also try Silicon Prairie's Autotext
Plugin, which lets you set up all sorts of boilerplate inserts (
https://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Downloads.html). Klaus' plugin is
free, but you can pay him. Silicon Prairie is shareware, but it will nag
you to buy it. At $10, it's cheap for its utility.
