Hi Val, thank you so much. Itīs funny - or amazing . Just an hour ago I found this solution in your excelent description of SW4.3. Iīm so busy to produce SW -texts that I didnīt take the time to read the manual carefully enough. Sometimes it might be enough just to refer to the users guide - that may save your time. You could use it to teach the essentials about how to write "difficult " (= as long as I donīt know how to write ;-) ) signs. Thanks again for your support.
