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

[David Artman]

FWIW, you can insert any unicode character with keyboard as well. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/insert-ascii-or-unicode-latin-based-symbols-and-characters-d13f58d3-7bcb-44a7-a4d5-972ee12e50e0#bm1DCA:d.a.d

Since I only use the check mark infrequently and probably will forget all of this by the time I need it again, I created a new character tag - Check-0080 - in Character Designer and added it to the character catalog that I have in all of my templates and then imported the character formats from the open file to all of my other templates. Click Alt+0080 and, bingo!, there's my checkmark. No need to add a text frame. If I need to add text, I simply change to my Default Font.Thanks Janet & Shmuel!-----Original Message-----From: Framers <framers-bounces+tom.beiswenger=emhartglass.com at lists.frameusers.com> On Behalf Of Shmuel WolfsonSent: Wednesday, July 22, 2020 5:59 AMTo: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software. <framers at lists.frameusers.com>; Lin Sims <ljsims.ml at gmail.com>Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] [Framers] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12)Maybe this is clear to some people, but I thought I might clarify this since I just figured it out myself.Alt+#### works for Unicode fonts as well, but only for the first 255characters of the font. ANSI fonts are 8-bit fonts, which only have 255 characters. Unicode fonts have a very large number of characters, but you can still use Alt+#### for the first 255 characters of the Unicode font. In the Windows Character Map, if you select the Advanced view checkbox, it shows whether the font is Unicode or another font type. For Unicode fonts, it still shows the Alt keystroke at the bottom-right for characters in the 255 range. Strangely enough, the Windows Character Map doesn't show *all* the Alt keystrokes within in the 255 range, even though they seem to all work.So as Janet said, in the Windings2 font, ALT-0080 gives you a checkmark.--Shmuel WolfsonTechnical Writer058-763-7133_______________________________________________This message is from the Framers mailing listSend messages to framers at lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.frameusers.com&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ&m=nve94KSiMsemMK1a1ODWn3ilXyintHZ0yuYUXO8MxUs&s=NFa9IllNu7E8olSYMJ2OKAS6UzFDQ8sSlOtqUnAbVOc&e=Archives located at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.mail-2Darchive.com_framers-2540lists.frameusers.com_&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ&m=nve94KSiMsemMK1a1ODWn3ilXyintHZ0yuYUXO8MxUs&s=KZzFYvLAS50OFpnOlwNy2Z4gFz0Ik1wNMlr8lalmTPA&e=Subscribe and unsubscribe at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.frameusers.com_listinfo.cgi_framers-2Dframeusers.com&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=zzmJd9V-AOY-pLCA-v8cPy_mRSvZCZwNZBdUabWmOfQ&m=nve94KSiMsemMK1a1ODWn3ilXyintHZ0yuYUXO8MxUs&s=sf0s-YTUJhjfTOwIwz57Z_imsBsf9CqD0LCH39uyCKc&e=Send administrative questions to listadmin at frameusers.com_______________________________________________This message is from the Framers mailing listSend messages to framers at lists.frameusers.comVisit the list's homepage at  http://www.frameusers.comArchives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.comSend administrative questions to listadmin at frameusers.com
