I love this lesson! It’s hard not to overuse it on all my pages😀
Carla Shute
I’m so glad you like it!

I played around and —
option-shift-9
works on a Mac in my PSE 2020. It does depend on the font, though. The first one I tried (Arial) resulted in a little square, not circle. The second font (Athelas) was most likely a Serif font and it worked!
Carla Shute
Interesting! I have heard that Shift-Option-9 works as well. Thanks for letting me know about the different fonts!
Mari
This is great, Carla! I like this idea and it’s easy to do, thank you. 🙂
Carla Shute
Thank you Marilyn!

I’m in bed with coffee and my iPad, but doing a layout using this technique is motivation to move to my computer soon! I never heard the word “interpunct” before…always just called it a little dot! I love how I’m always surprised with new-to-me stuff here at Digital Scrapper.
Carla Shute
I always called it a little dot, too! But I figured it had to have a real name, lol! Glad you like it!
