HomeBack Special Characters: Cut & Paste

The special characters shown here are defined in the HTML standards.  However, many Web authoring tools don't have a function to insert these characters on a page.  Here's one way around that problem:
  1. select a character (highlight it) on this page;

    2.           (L-Click the mouse down and sweep it over a character)
  2. copy it to the clipboard;

    3.           (on the Menubar: Edit, select Copy)
  3. paste it in the page under construction.

    4.           (on the Menubar: Edit, select Paste)
