I don't know what the keystroke for that symbol is, but its not important, because if you select it and copy it (command-C in Mac, I think it's control-C in PC) from the Repeat Tool edit window then paste it into the Expression Tool>Create dialogue box, you will effectively re-create it. I'm glad that you checked what the font and size is, because that can be a head-scratcher if you don't have the right one. >I've tried 'open library' in File menu, basically looking for a "this equals >that" or "# = %", or similar but libraries won't open.

Up in the Help menu (This is Mac, I hope there is one on PC) you will see something like Character Map for Maestro Font. This is a chart of symbols and keystrokes for every symbol in Maestro. But as I said, the easiest way is just to copy it from the Repeat Tool. >As I said- I'm sure it's going to be embarrassingly obvious, and prove my >original statement- I must be thick! Nah, you're not thick, it's a real pain sometimes. Once you have created this expression, save it in your Default File so that you never have to create it again. At least that way you only have to bang your head against the wall once, instead of several times.
