Arrow characters in Frame 9

Greetings,

Trying to create a right arrow in Frame 9. The ADOBE® FRAMEMAKER ®9 Character Sets document page 15 says this:

0174 \xae Control+q . → arrowright

Pressing Alt (with NumLock on) plus 0174 doesn't work. Neither does the keyboard shortcut. What is the best way? The File -> Utilities -> Hex Input doesn't work either. The Character palette shows the item I need, but it inserts something else other than the picture. I've tried various fonts.

Thanks!

    Try this:

    1. Insert the code, e.g. alt+0174, and you should see the Register symbol: ®

    2. Select that character.

    3. Apply the Symbol character style that you created.

    4. You should now see the right arrow.

    Lori,

    You need to set that specific character to the Symbol font for this to work, e.g. create a Character style.

    Greetings--I created a Character style with the Symbol font, but am still getting the wrong symbol. Am doing something wrong...

    That works--thanks!
