<br>
I did this for a colleague a few years ago. I added the degrees,
pilcrow and dot product characters (can't remember exactly why
now). Be aware that I did this in</font></font><font size="+1"><font
face="Calibri"><font size="+1"><font face="Calibri"> FrameMaker
8, which we are still using, and I don't know if it will
work for Frame 12.<br>
<br>
</font></font>This is how I did it:<br>
</font></font><br>
<font size="+1"><font face="Calibri">1. Find the file menus.cfg. In
Frame 8 it is here: C:\Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\fminit\maker</font></font><br>
<font size="+1"><font face="Calibri">2. Make a backup copy!!!!<br>
</font></font>3. <font size="+1"><font face="Calibri">Open into a
text editor. The top of the file looks like this:<br>

</font></font><big>The section of text in red above controls what
appears in the Symbols drop-down menu. The last three lines are
the ones I added.<br>
<br>
4. To add new entries to this menu, you need to use the correct
syntax and code for each character. The codes for each character
are found in this file: C:\Program
Files\Adobe\FrameMaker8\fminit\configui\cmds.cfg<br>
</big><font size="+1"><font face="Calibri"><br>
They are under the heading Diacritics, lines 1677 - 1841.<br>
<br>
Copy the syntax from the other entries in this menu, but
substitute the code for the character you need.<br>
<br>
I do remember trying to add other characters to this menu, but
without success. I'm sorry, but I can't remember which
characters didn't work, and I didn't record this in my notes.
You will just have to experiment.<br>
<br>
I always close Frame before modifying any files, and restart it
after modifying files, so that it picks up the new information.<br>
<br>
Good luck and let me know how you get on!<br>
<br>

nice Symbols button on the menu bar will per default have Bullet
