Greetings "Bart Mathias" <mathias@hawaii.edu> Hi Bart,
BM> I'd hate to, say, write a Japanese sentence that way, inserting one In another message, I've asked Deron if the "Insert Character" implimentation could be changed so that the "Insert Character" panel does not dissolve upon choosing the 'Insert' button. With this change, you would find the typing in Japanese much easier to do. It would also be useful to those persons who need to include many instances of 'weird' characters in their documents. . |
