Typing in dialog boxesIn some cases,
you must type a character sequence beginning with a backslash (\)
to enter a character in a dialog box. The sequence appears in the
dialog box, but the character appears correctly in the document.
The following table shows the sequences to type in a dialog box.
All key sequences described— here– begin with a backslash (\).
To indicate a literal backslash in a dialog box, enter two backslashes
(\\). In a few cases, you can choose between two backslash sequences
for a character. In these cases, the sequences are separated by
a comma.
