Modify/Add Special Charaters in Callouts?
Modify/Add Special Charaters in Callouts?
(OP)
Callouts (among other text features) permit the addition a specific list of special characters (ex: adding "%DG" will add a degree symbol).
I was wondering if it's possible to customize these special characters, or add our own characters that we use a lot.
The main goal in fact is displaying the centerline symbol (C with an L crossing it).
On another note (referencing another of my posts that has not been answered), is it possible to make a certain amount of the callout italic or bold, and not the whole thing?
Cheers,
Martin

Now, is there a way to have this symbol in a callout? Personally I can't stand the textbox and would rather use the callouts... if all else fails, I might not have a choice...

You will need to have a look through character map to see if the symbol is included. I wouldn't hold too much hope as it's a fairly special character that is usually only in a few fonts.
What I usually do is leave a few spaces in the main callot, then add another with the special charactes over the top.
At least they stay together when moved.
