Inserting a symbol of command Mac in a document
OK, this should be so simple but it makes my head.
Basically, I prepare an indesign document - specifically a map sheet of index for call center workers who use a Mac platform.
For the life of me I can not understand how to insert different symbols for the keyboard commands for example (2318 Unicode for the symbol of the order) or 2325 for Option.
Worse still, I use a Mac - and whenever I copy and paste the symbol from another application, e.g. TextEdit after dragging it from the character palette it still does not appear.
When I would expect symbols, I see are these boxes with a cross in the middle (picture below).
INDD file was created using CS5.5 on a Windows machine, and when these boxes make their appearance - police is listed as Segoe UI symbol (specific font a MS Office). Cannot find a replacement either policy, and my google-fu is letting me to find the answer to this.
Any help to achieve this properly appreciated.
You must choose a font that has the character (glyph) you want to use. It's easy on a Mac if you use the following steps:
(1) in system preferences > language & text > input methods, turn on the keyboard Viewer & character (at the top of the list).
(2) open the Viewer from characters in the menulet at the top of your screen:
(3) in the viewer of characters, Unicode and select the Unicode value:
(4) select one of the variants fonts on the right and watch the police with this glyph:
(5) back to InDesign and open the glyphs Panel (Type > glyphs). In the menu, select the font, in this case charcoal CY. In the glyphs for this font menu, select symbols. Double-click to insert the symbol.
(6) in order to reuse the glyph, include it in a set of glyphs.

Can I know what he's talking about and how to solve?
Here's how to interpret this error:
/Users/shubhendusharma/Documents/Momentics.app/host_10_2_0_15/darwin/x86/usr/bin/ntoarm-ld: note: 'hu_SHA1Hash' is defined in DSO /Users/shubhendusharma/Documents/Momentics.app/target_10_2_0_1155/qnx6/armle-v7/lib/libhuapi.so.5 so try adding it to the linker command line
Having said that the hu_SHA1Hash entry point is defined as a dynamic shared object (DSO) in an external library called libhuapi.s0.5
Thus, you must add the libhuapi.so shared library to your project so that the build process knows where.
Make sure that you have the directive '-lhuapi ' added to your
.pro file something like this: APP_NAME = TestRandom CONFIG += qt warn_on cascades10 LIBS += -lhuapi -lbbsystem include(config.pri)
In general to resolve a library bearing the name of, say, libFoo.so you need the - lFoo directive in the .pro project file.

HOW to: Insert the symbol of the degree in text
An another "How To" question.
Running PE 13.1 on a Windows PC with WIN 7 64-bit.
How to insert the symbol of the degree in text - I would like to have something like "temperature + 2 < degree symbol > water C.
where < degree symbol > is the small circle (triggered).
I found how to insert copyright (Alt + 0169) & the Tilde (Alt + 126) helped by Wikipedia, but the Windos ciode for the degree symbol is not shown - just the
Unicode U + 2103 but Alt + 2103 just inserts a '7'.
HEM
HEM
If you have the copyright © symbol to work for you with Alt + 0169, I think Alt + 0176, you should get the degree symbol as in 32 °.
If please give it a try in the Titler, open Premiere Elements and let us know if it worked for you.
Thank you.

Insert a symbol or character stops working after one use, which requires re - start.
When you write emails I find that I cannot use the character/insert symbol function once. If I want to use again in the same or another e-mail, I can only do so after re-start Thunderbird (not the computer) I use Windows XP Home Edition
I have no problem, I suggest that you try to restart with the modules disabled in the Help menu and see if, maybe, the problem is caused by an add-on or theme.

How to insert special characters into CS4 Mac doc
I am using CS4 on Mac 10.6.6 and I have a doc I want to insert a special character, star. I added a new type layer, open the character Viewer to the mac system, chose the star, and when I double click or press the Insert button, I get only an X in a box instead of see the stars. I can get more than one digit to appear correctly, but not much. If I try to enter any character in the character palette in text or Word tool, they all work perfectly.
Jon
Check the police - probably that you chose a character that is not available in the font that you selected in Photoshop.

Insert point at playhead command post
C4: Press F3 to start/stop playback of a slide and stop the read command where you want to insert a point area highlight. The nail inserted box is placed at the beginning of the slide and you have to drag it where stop you the playback control. It is not supposed to not insert the object where you left off of?Hello
My guess is that you see a change in the behavior associated with the new ability to configure the default settings for objects. If you click on edit > Preferences... > Global node > node by default, you will see that we can now specify especially calendar by default for objects. So I guess it is the substitution of the old behavior of insertion to the position of the read head.
The good news is that we still have the possibility to synchronize the object to the playhead. Just right-click and choose "Sync with playhead" (or press Ctrl + L) and the starting point of the object must be aligned on the current position of the read head.

Click on the pages

Insert all pages at the end of a document
I'm trying to do something that * should * be easy: Add all the pages document A the end of B. There is even a predefined command to copy pages from one document to another: Doc.insertPages. My problem lies within the limits of this method.
See, whenever the script is run, I don't know how many pages is an advance in the document. Doc.insertPages allows me to specify the first and last page I want to copy, but he only expects a number. Also, unfortunately, using-1 to specify the last one does not work for the page index numbers how it works for the array index number. So, here is what I have so far:
printDoc.insertPages({ nPage: printDoc.numPages - 1, cPath: labelFile, nStart: 0, nEnd: -1 });
Here, printDoc is my document B, and labelFile is my document to. I can easily say the method to insert the pages after the last existing page in document B by calling its NBPAGES property and subtracting 1. After all, the document is already opened and Acrobat can count the pages inside. Has not the same for the document; the Doc.insertPages does not document A method - she wants only a path String to it. So I can't say beforehand how many pages in it.
I guess I * could * have just the script open document has temporarily, just long enough to store the number of pages in a variable, which is then used in the Doc.insertPages method, but I was expecting something a little cleaner than that. Thoughts/ideas?
As indicated in the documentation: "If a page range is not specified, the method gets all the pages from the source document."
So just do not specify start and nEnd. More information: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/inserting-pages-pdf-acrobat-javascript1
