Reply to: Adding non-breaking hyphen
March 6, 2009 at 9:05 amI am surprised no one offered a short macro, yet, to just insert a single character. In XMetaL Author this macro can be assigned to a shortcut, menu and a toolbar icon.
Something like this should work (not tested!!)
Application.Alert( “No Document is currently Open.” ); return;
} else if (Selection.CanInsertText) {
Selection.Text = String.fromCharCode(173); // Replace 173 with decimal unicode
} else {
ActiveDocument.Host.Alert(“Cannot insert text here!”);
}
]]>
Store the code in a file with .mcr type in Startup folder and restart XMetaL Author. Ctrl+Alt+H will enter the character defined in the code.
