WordPerfect Characters
You can quickly insert special characters with WordPerfect's Character dialog. Just press Ctrl+W to display the WP Characters dialog. You can then select a character by sight rather than having to remember its numeric value.
There are also shortcuts in the WP Characters dialog. For example, if you press Ctrl+W, then type co, and press (Enter), the copyright symbol is inserted.
