Notes: the mac is not a typewriter

one space between sentences
*typewriters are monospaced
*two spaces was necessary to separate sentences
*most computer fonts use proportional spacing
*only one space is needed after all punctuation. period.

real quotes vs fake ones: primes are for measurements.. quotes are 66 & 99 s there's a dimension sign (looks like a squished x)
: and ; s are placed outside of quote marks..

resumed: april 12
hyphen- just for hyphenating words, linking compound words "five-thirty" or line breaks.

en dash- indicates a duration, so it substitutes for the word "to", as in 9:00 to 5:00. [option-hyphen]
example: 3–5 years, october–december.

em dash- indicates a break in thought. similar to a colon. when a period is too strong and a comma is too weak.
ex: go to the store—not the movies.
shift option hyphen.

Superscripts, subscripts: select superscript" or "subscript" in the options menu in the "character" palette in indesign.

fractions: some fonts have pre-designed fractions (sometimes in the "expert set") go to "type > view glyphs" to see an entire character set. with the type tool active, double click on the fraction and it will be inserted into the text at the cursor point. otherwise, type in the numbers you want, using the fraction bar/(shift-option-!) not the slash /
next make the numerator a superscript. now make the denominator about half the point size. eyeball it.

Accent Marks
to type a a fancy world like resume, simply do the following:
hit "r"
hit "option-e", then "e"
viola, you have an accent mark!!
it works for any vowel you need.
"option e" plus "i", etc.
