Can anyone tell me how to type text into a Quark document including Copyright or Trademark symbols ?
 
There is a program out there for the MAC called "PopCharPro" that will put an icon on your top bar to make the charators you want. It does cost sometihng I forget what though, However I have created a "Simple Text" document with those charactors in it and whenever I need one all I do is open that doc up and copy and paste.

In Windows their is a file with all these on there but since I am not at a Windows computer right now I don't remember the file.

If all you want is the ® hold your option key down and hit "R", © is option and the "G" key. This will work on the MAC.

Pop char is great...however...they have finally caught on in the osx version...and will show you the 'hidden' characters....but you have to pay for the full version to access the keyboard commands for them.

Key caps in osx is the next best thing...however...they have removed it from the OS in 10.3.4, so keep a copy hanging round from 10.1.x....as it still works in 10.3.4

Woof...woof...
