Since Dian answered your first question....here's a page I created where I show some of these symbols...not all, but it's a start: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/specialcharacters.htm Linda F.

It must mean something like, "leave a bunch of white space here". Under what topic in Help can I find a list of these symbols and info about their proper usage? Thanks for the guidance.
