change from unicode to ASCII
Does anyone know how to set the default character code set for symbols? I
need to change it from Unicode (hex) to ASCII (decimal). |

They're two ways of viewing the same thing.

Right now, by default installation, when you insert a symbol from the menu
option it comes up with the Unicode (hex) format. My client uses the Standard Character Access Chart ISO Latin-1+, and uses the keyboard shortcut which she has memorized. Because it's set to Unicode, the key combinations she uses don't work. The ASCII (decimal) is the format she needs. How do I set this, or can it be set? "Suzanne S.

In the Insert Symbol dialog, there is a dropdown list at the bottom right
corner from which you can choose Unicode (hex), ASCII (decimal), or ASCII (hex). But the ASCII shortcuts work (in a document) regardless of what the Symbol dialog setting is. They must be entered from the numeric keypad (not using the keys in the number row) in the form Alt+0xxx. -- Suzanne S.
