Inserting special characters and graphics in text<br />

Sometimes it is necessary to enter special typographic symbols into text. You can insert special<br />

characters using the command Text | Insert and the Character Map.<br />

To insert a symbol:<br />

1. While in text edit mode, place the text I-beam at the location in which you wish to insert the<br />

symbol.<br />

2. Choose Text | Insert.<br />

3. Select a symbol from the submenu list and release the mouse. The selected symbol will<br />

automatically be inserted.<br />

Typographic quotes<br />

After using the insert symbol<br />

command.<br />

You can set a preference so <strong>Canvas</strong> inserts typographic (“curly”) quotation marks in text you type.<br />

For more information, see "Setting preferences" on page 97.<br />
