Inserting Special Characters

Post by TAB »

Math Help says, under Inserting Special Characters:
This function allows you to insert special characters, such as check marks, boxes, and telephone symbols, into your text.
To view a selection of all characters, choose Insert - Special Character.
...where? The Insert toolbar is not available from the Math edit window. If I click View>Toolbars, I get only 2 choices: Standard, Tools.

The Help item
Special Character
Inserts special characters from the installed fonts.
To access this command...
Choose Insert - Special Character
Open the Insert toolbar, click..Special Character

is no help either, since the Insert toolbar is unavailable

The Help file, unfortunately, is not specific for each sub program. It contains all [well, much] of the information for all of them. So what you read might apply to one aspect, but not another.

If you are trying to enter a language character, and if Windows, you can have several keyboard languages to choose from an access easily from the tray.
