Hi,

Is it possible to enter TEXT and insert special signs as well (like in windows) for example REGISTERED "R" letter in circle at top right of the text?

Or it can only be done as picture place on top right?

Alternatively what is the best way (quality) to than create TEXT and registered sign as JPEG of bitmap? I often experience loss of quality of letters if you go that way...

You can enter the REGISTERD R. Simply open your text box and input the ASCII code for the symbol you want. To do this, you usually hold the ALT key then enter the code on the numeric keypad. When you release the ALT key the symbol for the code should enter. You can google for an ASCII chart but some keyboards are different and the codes may not match. You may have to go through the list till you find the correct code. Good luck and let us know if you need any more help.

You could try this HTML code:


where:  is the HTML tag for superscript and
® is the code for the "Registered" symbol

Alt + 0174 ......®
You could type this separate (in its own text box) then position it where you want and then group your text boxes (so it won't get separated from the text in some browsers).

®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®® me matey!

That reminds me.... Captain Morgan The sun is definitely over the yardarm

Here's a link to one of I'm sure a billion site pages with codes on them, if you scroll down the page a ways you'll see that the actual HTML code for this would be:

®

http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

That would be the "proper" way to be sure it's coded correctly on the page for a web page. Hope that helps

In VSD, that would have to be placed in the page by way of an HTML box, since one doesn't edit the actual page code.

Here's a list of symbol codes:

This is what you do: using the numerical pad on the right-hand side of your enhanced keyboard, hold down the "Alternate" key while you type a four-digit code. (Make certain that the "Num Lock" in the upper left-hand corner of your numerical keypad is engaged.)

To type the letter e with the acute accent, as you would need in the Spanish name José or the French-derived adjective "passé," for example, hold down the Alt key and type 0233 on the numerical page. To type the grave accent over the e in "fin de siècle," type Alt + 0232.

Here are the typing codes for the legal "section" symbol and some of the most commonly used monetary symbols:

Alt + 0167 = § = section symbol
Alt + 0163 = £ = the British pound
Alt + 0128 = € = the Euro of the European Union
Alt + 0165 = ¥ = the Japanese yen

These are the codes for some of the most-often-used international diacritics (including the two mentioned above). Again, just hold down the Alt key and type the four-digit codes using the numeral key pad on the far right of your enhanced keyboard:

Alt + 0224 = à = lowercase a with grave accent
Alt + 0225 = á = lowercase a with acute accent
Alt + 0226 = â = lowercase a with circumflex
Alt + 0227 = ã = lowercase a with tilde
Alt + 0228 = ä = lowercase a with umlaut
Alt + 0230 = æ = lowercase ae diphthong (ligature)
Alt + 0231 = ç = lowercase c with cedilla
Alt + 0232 = è = lowercase e with grave accent
Alt + 0233 = é = lowercase e with acute accent
Alt + 0234 = ê = lowercase e with circumflex
Alt + 0235 = ë = lowercase e with umlaut
Alt + 0236 = ì = lowercase i with grave accent
Alt + 0237 = í = lowercase i with acute accent
Alt + 0238 = î = lowercase i with circumflex
Alt + 0239 = ï = lowercase i with umlaut
Alt + 0241 = ñ = lowercase n with tilde
Alt + 0242 = ò = lowercase o with grave accent
Alt + 0243 = ó = lowercase o with acute accent
Alt + 0244 = ô = lowercase o with circumflex
Alt + 0245 = õ = lowercase o with tilde
Alt + 0246 = ö = lowercase o with umlaut
Alt + 0249 = ù = lowercase u with grave accent
Alt + 0250 = ú = lowercase u with acute accent
Alt + 0251 = û = lowercase u with circumflex
Alt + 0252 = ü = lowercase u with umlaut
Alt + 0253 = ý = lowercase y with acute accent

Here is a miscellaneous list of other basic characters and symbols:
Alt + 0169 = © = copyright symbol
Alt + 0174 = ® = registered trademark symbol
Alt + 0176 = ° = degree symbol
Alt + 0177 = ± = plus-or-minus sign
Alt + 0182 = ¶ = paragraph mark
Alt + 0188 = ¼ = fraction, one-fourth
Alt + 0189 = ½ = fraction, one-half
Alt + 0190 = ¾ = fraction, three-fourths
Alt + 0215 = × = multiplication sign

And on a final note, to create a bulleted list in an e-mail or a regular document when you're using a software program that does not have an automatic bulleting feature, simply type Alt + 0149, and a bullet will appear in your text.
