Actually they're not that readily available. There a two related approaches to that: 1) Use the Latex commands provided by the textcomp package, this means inserting commands like \textregistered or \copyright and marking them as Latex code under Lyx. Look for l2short.pdf on CTAN, it comes with an appendix that lists all symbols provided by textcomp. 2) Use textcomp in conjunction with inputenc, run a suitable 8-bit locale and configure your keyboard so that you can enter them directly, more or less like any alphabetic character (that's actually not as complicated as it may sound). This won't give you straight access to all symbols, but it would at least cover the most common ones. I'm assuming that you are running Lyx on some UNIX variant here, I don't know how to deal with that under Windows. -- Philipp Lehman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
