Take another look at the sender address line – we can do a little better, right?
In our example, the star characters used to separate the company name, street, and town, look rather clumsy. A middle dot would be more beautiful. But how do you get one if your keyboard doesn't offer one?
Select the sender address line text frame once more in text edit mode. (Select the text tool and click into the text frame until the text ruler is visible above the frame.)
Now place the edit cursor in front of the first star character
and choose Special Characters
from the Edit menu
. A
dialog opens which shows all special characters which are available
under Unicode for the currently selected font.
Look for the category Bullets/Stars
in this dialog. You
will soon find the BULLET OPERATOR
. A click on this character
inserts this character on the actual position of the edit cursor.
(Don't wonder why the dialog Characters
doesn't close
automatically. Characters
is a system palette of OS X which
will stay open until you close it yourself.)
Now delete the redundant star, and mark the second star as a
text block with your mouse. Insert another BULLET OPERATOR
in
the text frame. It will automatically overwrite the marked text block.
Your sender address line should now look similar to ours.
