    Default Add Special Characters to Multlinetext

    Hello All,


    I have a situation where I'm adding some text and want to identify the part with a part#. For example Item 1, I want to add a circle to the number one for it to stand out on my text notes.


    The same goes for each line item I have for my text note. For example, if I have 5 lines of text notes, I want to be able to put for example a triangle around 1 thru 5 line items.


    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.


    I've attached screen shot to help to see what I'm looking to do. By the way used multiline text for my drawing notes.


    Thanks in advance

    adding arbitrary graphics to Mtext is not an option. You can add the circle later, on top of the number, but that's about it - and there would be no connection between the number and the number.

    But, what you can do, is use the extended characters in 'Arial Unicode MS', at least for numbers 1 through 20,

    ⑭ for example shows up in that font, as U+246D
