Unless things have changed recently and, I admit, it's not something that I keep up regularly, inch and foot marks are not straight up and down. Usually they tilt to the right and you have to go to a pi font to find them. We always called those straight up and down things "beaver teeth" and never, ever used them. Someone told me that they were used in programming and that's why they were on the keyboard in the first place, but that may not have been true. Can't remember who told, it was so long ago. Just wanted to put in a word for what I understand is correct punctuation.
anyone know the keystoke for the (p) Publisher symbol?? I'm using Windows, Indesgn CS3. The following are pretty common:
Alt+0169 is (c)
Alt+0153 is (TM)
Alt+0174 is (R)
BUT...what the he*** is (P) ????
Thanks, Eric

You can create an acceptable small cap in QuarkXPress if you change the Small Caps preferences to 85% vertical and 90% horizontal. You'll find that under Preferences> Default Print Layout> Character. We've been using that setting in Design Tools Monthly for 16+ years, and the result is pretty darned good.
