Very interesting. I'm Hoping Janys has time to take a look, too. In the meantime, thanks for the tip!

Hi Spinny, Just my 2 cents worth and maybe I'm not reading right, but, in VSD when I want to make the copyright symbol, as i"m typing the text and then need the symbol, I do the following, - Hold down Ctrl and Alt at the same time and press C. Then hold down Alt and type 0169 on the numbers pad. Voila, there is the symbol and you can complete your sentence. So, probably that's not what you were looking for, but as soon as I wake up I'll re-read the thread.

Yep, and you can use the Character Map in Windows too, which will also give the Alt codes for characters where available, if you don't happen to know what the code is.

And that character map is standard enough so they appear in, say, Firefox for Linux?

The Character Map also includes unicode characters which aren't supported by VSD, so you would need to use numeric entities (&#xxxxx;) in those cases. The copyright symbol is part of the iso-8859-1 character encoding, so it works fine.

According to this page

http://theorem.ca/~mvcorks/code/charsets/latin1.html

the trademark symbol isn't part of the iso-8859-1 character set, so if the test doesn't work for Janys, that should be why, and you can try this meta tag instead



Windows-1252 does include the trademark. You won't have to worry about this stuff if/when Coffeecup adds utf-8 support to its editors, or if you stick with numeric entities.

Or, you could make TM in say, Corel Draw, export it and save it as a jpeg and add it to VSD by way of the picture icon and size it to what you want. Just an idea.

This is all fascinating stuff, thanks for all the info. I really don't mind doing the text in HTML, when I started doing web pages (when the Netscape kids were still in school) that and Notepad were all there was. It's good practice as I try to catch up on all that's happened since. I really appreciate all the insight into the character sets.

Thanks again!

Respected sir,


Please guide me the alignment of tax box with table code
I am attaching the file for your guidance.

I hope for the favourable support from your end.

Thanking you,

dku4smas,

What CoffeeCup program are you using and what happened to the file you were attaching?

If you are looking for United States tax tables, try the IRS web site.

I read Sarah's post below regarding inserting the copyright symbol...

(in VSD when I want to make the copyright symbol, as i"m typing the text and then need the symbol, I do the following, - Hold down Ctrl and Alt at the same time and press C. Then hold down Alt and type 0169 on the numbers pad. Voila, there is the symbol and you can complete your sentence.)

This doesn't seem to work for me. any suggestions for inserting the copyright symbol?
