RE: New to FrameMaker

["Steve Cavanaugh" <scavanaugh -at- nat-seattle -dot- com>]

This really got me going here....

So I checked.  If you have the font CommercialPiBT installed, you can
produce a right arrow (sort of an ugly spud) by holding down the Alt key
and typing 174 on your keypad.

If you have the font Wingdings3 installed, you can produce a very nice
looking right arrow by holding down the Alt key and typing 176 on your
keypad.

What happens to those arrows when you print or make a PDF, I shall leave
to your imagination.

Hope it helps.

The simpler answer is to adjust your typography to ">" and get used to
it. The not so simple answer takes you into Unicode and just gets
messier from there.

... I'm finally at a job that uses FrameMaker. So I guess it's
about time I learned it. :-)

...How do I make an "arrow" character for steps? (Ex.: Click
New-->File, etc.) In Word, I would just type two hyphens and a "greater
than" symbol and it would automatically turn into a nice arrow. Is there
a function similar to this in FrameMaker? I can't seem to find anything
(yet, at least). I would rather use an arrow than switch to using a
slash or a >.
