One more possibility: Kenneth Benson mentioned a freebie utility called "Quick100" in this thread -- <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b70524> I've just tested Quick100 in FM8.0p277 and it seems to work perfectly to create unicode characters including the left and right arrow keys in Times New Roman. With Quick100 installed in the default mode (be sure to close FM or at least close and reopen after installing Quick100), to type the left arrow key: -- have NumLock ON -- While holding Alt down, type the number keypad's decimal character and then type the unicode numbers in the number keypad. Release the Alt key. Interestingly, the instructions on the website say that they keyboard letters and numbers will also work, and that the utility can be set up to work with or without NumLock having to be on. The leftwards arrow as shown in Windows Charmap is U+2190, so this would be Alt plus 5 keystrokes: <Alt>.2190
