Course Transcript Word makes it very easy to include symbols and special characters in your documents. It does this by offering a palette of symbols that you can browse for the one you want. Let's give this a try by inserting a trademark symbol in the Owner Message document.
The Character Viewer pop-up window appears: Use the search field at the top of the window, or click to expand the window and reveal more characters: When you find the character that you want, click or double-click it to insert it into your text. In the Messages app, you can also see the Character Viewer popup when you click in the lower-right corner. With macOS Sierra or later, emoji you send in.
Now, since we're inserting a character, we want to start by positioning the insertion point where the character will go. We're going to put it right after the word Trees here in the second paragraph. So, I'll just click right after the word Trees.
We'll use the Media Browser to insert the character. If it isn't already showing, click the Show Media Browser button on the Standard toolbar.
That's this button right here. Then in the Media Browser window, click the Symbols button.
Now, the way this works is you can scroll through this list of symbols to find that one you want, or if you want to narrow down the list a bit, you can use this menu to choose different options. Currency symbols, fractions. The one we want is a trademark. Practice while you learn with exercise files. Watch this course anytime, anywhere. Course Contents.
