Hans, Just starting out, trying to get the trademarkR. I hold down the Ctrl-Shft and then type UAE, but I get a weird box with little circles.
Ctrl-Shft never gets me anything useful that I can see. What am I doing wrong ? I tried with and without caps lock set. I tried them as a sequence, I tried the hold down and type method. I am using Win 7. Dia ver 0.97.2 Any help is appreciated.
