Windows Character Map

You are not limited to the special characters available from this Cool Page Tool. Your Windows Operating System comes with a very useful utility program called Character Map. This tool can be used by any Text Editor or Word Processor and most other programs with text features, including Cool Page.

You can open this program by clicking the Start Button, Run... and type this in the Run window: CHARMAP and press the OK button.   screenshot

Non- English Language Keyboards

Cool Page does not yet support the different language keyboards, because
these depend on fonts that not all visitors in the world will have.

It would be wise for us to support these keyboards in the future for those who
want to make pages only for their home country viewers.

Special Character Tool

Cool Page has a built in tool that can insert special characters into your text boxes such as the • bullet symbol and the £ English pound symbol.

Instructions

1. Draw a Text Box.

2. Type some text.

3. Click the Insert Menu
and then click on Text
and click on Special Character to open the Insert Special Character window.
