Hi all!
Thanks so much for your input on using the right arrow in FrameMaker! I
tried the Ctrl+q . several times before I realized the font needed to be
set as "Symbol."
I'll be training myself on FrameMaker for a few days this week, so I
hope y'all don't mind if I throw a few questions your way here and
there. Sometimes it's just much easier to ask someone who knows. (And
I'm the only person in my building who has FrameMaker!)
Thanks again!
Nina

I have used this plug-in, and it functions flawlessly. The only way
it could be better if it were free. But for around $10, it's more
than worth it. You can even assign a key combination to invoke it.
how painless is that?
