Steve,
Take it from me. When someone sends a letter snail mail from the U.S. to
Paris, Mexico City, or Buenos Aires, and hand writes an address with a seven
in it, there's no problem. Everyone simply notices that the envelope must
not have come from someone who writes the seven as they do. You see, it's
just a slight stylistic difference. here in the U.S., the way we learn to
write a seven involves a longer top line than is the European custom or the
Latin American custom derived from it. There is usually also a difference
in the way the writer flips the top line up a little for a slight curlycue,
but that's not the most noticeable difference. So it's just an old,
traditional way of making sure to distinguish the one from the seven, but in
practice is more decorative and stylistic than truly functional, as you may
be imagining.
Hope this helps.

maybe he wants the email to get where it is going. That is why he probably
feels obligated to write it the way it appears. ever think of that???

Hi,
You don't have to do that. It's just the way many Europeans and Latin
Americans write the number seven. Why do you think you're obligated to
produce a character that looks like it? I'm confused.

Hi Listers, someone has given me there Email address on paper, there is
the
number seven with a line drawn through it in the address. Can any of you
tell me how to create this character using Jaws? I am using Jaws 7.0 with
Win XP home. Thanks in advance!
