Problem

I need to be able to display special formatting symbols such as the Carriage Return symbol (¶) and space symbol (⋅) when I am editing my text within the Text Editor while using MicroStation CONNECT.

While in the Text Editor:
1. Right click in the empty space

These symbols can also be displayed with the keyboard shortcut CTRL+Shift+8 if the Text Editor is the active window.
