Tip Text:
If you want dashes in your text that are treated as words you can use an en dash or an em dash. These can be accessed directly using the keyboard as follows: !start(list) !next Ensure Number Lock (NumLock) is ON; !next Hold down the Alt key; !next On the number keypad (to the right of the main keyboard) type 0150 (for an en dash) or 0151 (for the longer em dash) !next Release the Alt key and the dash will appear. !end Other useful symbol codes for giving your lyrics a more professional appearance are: !tabulardata(Key Code|Symbol|Description) 0145|'|a proper opening single speech (quote) mark 0146|'|a proper apostrophe or closing speech mark 0147|"|ditto opening double speech mark 0148|"|ditto closing double speech mark !tabulardata-end
