I ask this because I know it is not possible in V8i.
I often have to place text that includes "special" symbols not available in the standard font file (TTF) that we are required to use. The property line symbol of an overlapping P & L is one, but there are others. Currently, I have to place "App. P" then go back to place an "L". I usually end up grouping the resulting two pieces of text so that it all "travels" together when I need to move it. We have a cell for that overlapping P&L, but it still requires me to place the initial text, then place another element and group them. Three steps instead of one.
It would be really nice if I had the ability to place certain annotation cells as symbols directly into my text element during creation.
I've posted this into the "Ideas" section of this board. I'm sure there are other uses for this sort of thing - I'm just looking at a basic need i have now.
Are there any other suggestions for how to handle this type of information?
Thank you.
