The F6 key can be used with numbers to enter a circled number or a clock. Type a single digit number followed by F6 and then type one of the numbers shown in the small yellow squares to transform the number into a circled number or a clock as shown in the pop-up dialog.
If you have the Lingua module, you will have more options. With Lingua, the compose key is used with numbers for the following purposes:
| • | transform a number into a different form of the same character (small cap, superscripted, subscripted or rotated) |
| • | transform a number into a fraction |
| • | transform a letter into a slash or a related character (e.g. transform a 4 into a hooked 4) |
To use the compose key with a number, type the number, press F6, find the transformed character that you would like to insert and double click or type the letter in the small yellow box corresponding to the character that you want to enter. For more detailed instructions, see Compose key)
The letter in the small yellow square is chosen so that if you use this feature frequently, you will remember the letter or number to type without waiting for the pop-up screen. Examples:
| • | to type a superscripted 2, type 2, F6, u (u for up) |
| • | to type a subscripted 2, type 2, F6, d (d for down) |
| • | to type a small cap 2, type 2, F6, s (s for small) |
| • | to type a 2 that is rotated by 180%, type 2, F6, r (r for rotated) |
| • | to type ½, type 1, F6, 2 |
| • | to type ¾, type 3, F6, 4 |
