1. When I copy the infinity symbol from the Character Map and paste it directly into a new portrait FM document (unstructured) - paragraph set to use Arial Unicode MS - the result is a question mark.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">I also use an FM10 DITA application to create XML files, so:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">
2. When I copy the infinity symbol from the Character Map and paste it directly into a DITA XML file - opened in Notepad++ - the infinity symbol appears correctly in the XML file.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">3. When I open that XML file - via my FM10 DITA application - into an FM XML document, the infinity symbol is displayed correctly. I can copy the infinity symbol - in DITA FM - and paste it in the Find Text window where it also appears correct and where clicking find functions correctly.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">4. I can copy the infinity symbols in my FM XML document, create a new portrait FM document (unstructured) and it appears correct. When I then change the para font from Arial Unicode MS to Times New Roman, the infinity symbol still displays correctly but in the Times NR font.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">5. I close and save the unstructured FM document and then reopen it and the infinity symbols is displayed correctly in both Arial Unicode MS and Times New Roman.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">6. Lastly, I copied and pasted the symbol from the Character Map into a regular Notepad document and saved (UTF-8 encoding) and imported this text file by copying into the unstructured FM file and it imported correctly.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:x-small">So, I also couldn't find any keyboard shortcut method to produce the symbol either, but using method 6, I could populate my FM document with the symbol correctly and then be able to use it freely in the document. At least a workaround.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working in FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and I cannot insert the infinity symbol. According to the FrameMaker character set documentation, it is Unicode 221E, but perhaps all that information is obsolete now. In any case, I tried holding
down Alt while I pressed +221e, and all I got was the Edit menu. I can’t find a keyboard shortcut for it. I resorted to getting the symbol in Word and copying and pasting it into FrameMaker, but seriously, is that what I have to do? Or do I have to create
an equation and insert the symbol?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My colleague is also working in FrameMaker 10 on Windows 7 and she can’t use the keyboard shortcuts (such as ctrl-q shift-8 to get a TM symbol). She gets other characters instead. She’s resorted to copying and pasting from Word, and those
all work except for the infinity symbol. All the information I’ve found on the internet has been for FrameMaker 7 or older. Can anyone tell me what to do for FrameMaker 10?<u></u><u></u></p>
