Now you have lost me. I do not know what you are talking about. Ctrl 2? What is that? Sorry. Perhaps a screenshot might help.

When you are making a Story entry, instead of doing the normal body text, you can use CTRL 2 to change to Title line (Big Bold Letters). Special characters are not available for that font setting.

It's a minor thing, I just prefer using an ampersand in the header/title lines.

I was able to reproduce that in FG. Here is what I learned:

• Ctrl 1 through 6 or so cylce through the options of the paragraph style menu, such as heading, chat frame, bullet list, etc. Ctrl-2 is a heading.
• There is no visible difference between applying a style via a shortcut key and via the style menu.
• The blurry mark at the right edge is the rendering of "&" in a Heading style.
• Flipping between normal formatting and heading formatting causes the & to alternate between a & character and that special charater.
• This happens regardless of whether you do so via ctrl-2 or the style menu.

I did not know about the shortcut keys. Thanks.

It is much easier to use the shortcut keys that it is to use the mouse menu for that stuff. Making Story tables that way (CTRL 6) with some CTRL TAB for new columns is also much easier than trying to
mouse it.

Is there a leftward pointing decoration that mirrors the one that you showed in your image? I am wondering if it might look good to decorate heading text with one on either side.

Not that I have noticed. But that symbol shows up whenever you use any special characters.

I did have the same idea that if there were a flipped version it would be cool to put on either side of the header to make it more distinguished from a regular header.

Will we get the update to the official print version v4.8?
