Insert symbols

Symbols are special characters that don't appear on a standard keyboard. These can range from a copyright symbol to icons like smiley faces and checkmarks.

To insert a symbol:

1. Position your cursor inside the text box where you want the symbol to appear.
2. From the Insert menu, select Symbol.

The Symbol dialog opens.

3. Different fonts offer different symbol menus, though many include the same standard symbols. You can select different fronts from the drop-down menu to view all the available symbols.
4. Many standard special characters, such as the em-dash, the en-dash, the trademark symbol, and the copyright symbol, appear on the Special Characters tab.

5. Select a symbol from the menu and click Insert.
6. Click Close to close the Symbol dialog.
