You need to used fields (ctrl-F9) not curly brackets entered from the
keyboard.

Hi Cooz,

Thanks so much for your response. I tried what you suggested but when the
letters appears with the dot, it says "ADVANCE" after the letter in the
text.
How can I get rid of the "ADVANCE" and just have the letter?

Thank you very much.
I appreciate your help.

Hi amira,

Of course you can always search the internet for fonts that suit you.
An alternative is using ADVANCE fields (Insert | Field...), with which
you
can combine characters.
For example:
Z{ ADVANCE \l 6 \d 5 }.{ ADVANCE \r 6 \u 5 }
places . under Z.

Copy your assembled characters to AutoText-fragments in your Normal.dot
and
assign them to key-combinations.

Good luck,
Cooz

can I
create such new symbols?

Thank you!!
