Hello all!

Here is a picture of my problem, which shows the inserted symbol mid-sentence overlapping my top sentence text:

How do I fix this? THANK YOU so much in advance!

P.S. The symbol automatically flowed in when I imported my stuff from Word, so I did not insert this in FM. I'm in FM 10 with 32-bit OS.

Select the paragraph where the figure appears.

Open Paragraph Designer.

On the Basic tab, in the Indents and Spacing frame, deselect the "Fixed" check box.

Apply the change.

This increases the leading for the line. The other option is to resize the figure and its containing frame to fit the standard leading.

If you have a Unicode font with code point 21CC populated, you can avoid the graphic framing altogether by just typing the harpoons as a character.

Thanks AJ and Error! I ended up unchecking the fixed box and that worked great. Thanks for making my day easier! Have a good one.

Windows font MS Arial Unicode has the glyph for code point U+21CC.

I'd insert it as a character, rather than an imported graphic, but I'd do it as a Variable, for maintainability, even if your body font is otherwise Arial.
