Using Greek Characters

Updated at January 25th, 2024

The easiest way to use extended ASCII and Greek characters when doing CART work with Case CATalyst is to create an include file for each character. For example, you may need to use Greek characters for a specific class during a semester or year. Use the chart of Greek symbol font equivalents for the English alphabet to assist you. Create an include file for a character following the steps below. You can then create a macro and an Auto Include definition to insert the symbol from your writing machine.

NOTE: The extended ASCII and Greek characters will display correctly in the CATalyst file but will not display correctly on the CARTView window if you are outputting via the CARTView (local display) option.

You may want to use the Edit feature, Insert Extended Characters if you use extended ASCII characters occasionally.

Create an Include File for an Extended ASCII or Greek Character

Open a new text file in Case CATalyst with the same layout you use for CART work.
Switch to Page View.
Type the English letter equivalent for the ASCII or Greek character for which you want to create an include file. For example, type the letter p for the Greek symbol pi.
Highlight the character and click Format, Font (Alt + o, f). The Font dialog box displays.
In the Font field, click Symbol and press Enter.
Press File, Save (Ctrl + s) to save the file.
Press File, Exit (Alt + f, x) to close and exit the file.
Repeat the previous steps for each character needed, creating a separate include file for each character.
To insert the character from Edit, press F9 to display the Include dialog box. Select the appropriate file and press Open (Enter).

Create an Auto Include for each Include File

To insert a character from your writing machine, create an Auto Include definition for each include file.

Open a file in Case CATalyst.
Record and save a macro using the Define After Saving option to create an AccelerWriter that allows you to insert the character from your writer. Do this for each include file you created.
Set up a CART session and test the new entries.
