I was editing a document in Word and instinctively pressed Ctrl Alt - (which is one of the keyboard shortcuts in Xara for an em dash, —) And whatdouyouknow, it worked. So I tried Ctrl Alt c and it produced ©. And the other keyboard shortcuts as well. Ctrl Alt t = ™

So all the time I thought this was so clever of Xara, it was actually a Microsoft convention.

Go figure.
