LornaHenderson 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Can anyone reproduce this? I have a text macro set up to contain the UK pound sign, saves mucking around. However, in a memo field, I can only get the macro to work once. So if I need more than one pound sign, I have to either go back to the last one and copy/paste it, or open up the Tools/External Utilities/Character map and select & copy it, or remember the sequence I need to precede the Alt +0163 on my laptop without the numeric keypad. Minor quirk, but definitely quirky! Other text macros seem to be unaffected, but none of those are special characters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Lorna, Works fine for me. I added the Pound sign to a text macro field with ALT+0163. It works every time that I add it to a memo with the proper text macro key combination. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been bugging me for several weeks now, so it isn't just a temporary thing. Reboot, restarts etc etc have no effect. Happens consistently for me, first Shift Fx works, subsequent ones don't, for that key only, in the same memo text, unless I close the tag and come back in!
