I suspect that the problem is that the Alt key has special (altered? alternate?) functions when the insertion point is inside a table.
I'd try inserting the checkmark character you want to use in a body paragraph and then cutting/copying it and pasting it into whatever cells in the table need it. In the long run, pasting the copy might be faster and easier than the 3 or 4 keystrokes needed to insert the character anew in each location. -FR ________________________________ From: Framers <framers-bounces+docudoc=hotmail....@lists.frameusers.com> on behalf of Tom Beiswenger <tom.beiswen...@emhartglass.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 9:02 AM To: An email list for people using Adobe FrameMaker software. <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: [Framers] Inserting checkmark in a table cell (FM12) How do I do this?
