Subject:Em-dashes and En-dashes in RoboHelp From:Steven Oppenheimer <Steven -at- OppenheimerCommunications -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 15 Nov 2004 16:23:56 -0500
I am a heavy user of Em-dashes and En-dashes in my writing. Unfortunately,
in RoboHelp, to access these, it seems you have to always do the following:
Insert --> Symbol
Scroll down
Select the dash
Select [Insert]
Select [Close]
Very tedious...
I checked the help in RoboHelp, looking for speed keys, and can't find
any. Did I miss something? Is there a keyboard shortcut for the two dashes?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
