Paired Format Symbols
(Can be used in Edit or in any dictionary for use in Realtime)
IMPORTANT: Generally speaking, a capital letter turns on a feature. The corresponding lowercase letter will turn off a feature. Format Symbols are activated by keying F4 and then the key for the feature you'd like to use. You do not have to turn off one set of format symbols before you use another set.
