Character Map Question
I’m using AE 7 (CS2) on Windows. I know you can create special type characters like en and em dashes, copyright symbol, etc. using character map. However, I seem top recall in previous versions of AE being able to use alt+XXXX key combinations. For instance, alt+0169 is copyright symbol. It was a lot faster as I’ve memorized common characters. Does this work in anyone elses’s version? Is my install wacked? Or is this just an unfortunate new Adobe feature?

Well im still stuck in 6.5 and i can tell you i use the alt+0149 all the time for bullets point. also works really well for doing city markers on maps. Im almost sure that AE is using it own Type tool engine. you might try and test it in PS or Ill. I also would try to restart. .. “Insert PC insult here”… MY work PC seems to randomly do wild things like that. I just always try and restart first… computers seem to just get a silly memory built up in them.. i don’t know why. If a restart doesnt do it, i would try a repair of the program to see if that fixes the problem. if you have to do a total reinstall don’t forget to do copy your filters folder so you don’t lose them in the uninstall.
Cheers,

It works for me if you hold Alt and use the numeric keypad for the numbers.
