Chris:
I cannot get the alt-G keystroke to print the copyright symbol.
HOWEVER ..........if I engage the print tool and set the print font to one's
favourite font the alpha numerics can be typed onto the image. To insert the
copyright symbol change the pull down menu at the top left of the screen to
"WP Typographic Symbols" and then press the number "8" at the top of the
keyboard or on the number pad with the NumLock key engaged, the copyright
symbol appears.
What I am looking for is the chart that correlates the keys on the keyboard
with the characters on the "WP Typographic Symbols" in the font pull down
menu after engaging the text tool. I have tewo or three CS3 books and can't
find that correlation table anywhere!
