Dear All,

I want to insert the abbreviation of millisecond (which is quite similar to "us")in the Unix FrameMaker.

Any hints?

Thanks.

Get the micro symbol by typing a lowercase m in the Symbol font.

I've never used Unix Framemaker in my life,
so I can't really help,
but one tip: there is not a special symbol of microseconds (I think you meant, rather than milliseconds) - it is just typed as a greek lower case letter mu ( � ) and an Latin letter s. (Milliseconds is just "ms")... so it's the mu symbol you need to be looking for.

Hi, Alice:

Look in the OnlineManuals directory in the FM installation directory for CharacterSets.pdf There's a table of all characters in fonts (pre-OpenType) and the equivalent keystrokes or codes they need. Also look for MultiplePlatforms.pdf which has platform-specific notes.

Hi, David,

Thanks for clarifying my question. Yes, you are right. I wanted the greek lower case letter mu.

Peter,

I know the CharacterSets,pdf is quite helpful for inserting some special characters, but unfortunately I don�t find how to insert greek lower case letter mu.
