<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">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is obsolete now.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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
