  • Getting arrows out of Boris text

    Posted by Tom Valens on May 4, 2005 at 4:08 am

    I’m trying to insert an arrow into Boris RED text, but I can’t get a key combination that will do it. In Word, using Za[f Dingbats or Wingdings fonts, I can get several types of arrows with a Shift + Option key combination and using the bottom row of letters on the keyboard. But in Red, although some of the other shapes appear, none of the arrows do. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Go to windows help and type in ‘character map’ you’ll then open up all of the available characters for the character set. The one’s above copied out of Arial. You can select them and copy/paste into red if either one suites you.

    another one that comes in handy is
