In Illustrator, what's the key combo to get the little R in a circle up, for 'registered'.....?

Depends on the font but try Option (alt) + R

Nope, that just gives me a cap A with some symbol above...

I'm in Carlos......

You don't have your caps lock on by any chance?
In most fonts, Shift+Option+R gives a cap A with a carat.

Nope, tried all variations....

I can't find it on an old document to copy over either......

You need some kind of utility to see the whole character set.

Do you have Art Director's Toolkit? It comes free on all PowerMacs. There'll also be a host of other in the font utility section on Versiontracker.com.

Of course, the other possibility is that there isn't one in the set and you may have to create your own which would only take a couple of seconds.

Open up Keyboard Viewer and look on there. If you hold down option, you'll see the keys change on the viewer. This may help you find it.

You can access Keyboard Viewer if you have your flag in the menu bar, or by going to "International" in System Preferences, and clicking on the "Input Menu" tab, and making sure "Keyboard Viewer" and "Show input menu in menu bar" are checked.

Nah, don't have Art directors toolkit & can't find keyboard viewer.

I can make one easily, but thought it would be handy to remember.

Don't want to go downloading stuff from version tracker at work - don't even think the company firewall will let me.....

Rats.

Can you get it to work in *any* font? Try Times. If that doesn't work, then it's a problem with Illustrator. If it does, then it's a problem with the font.

"no results found"Like tobefirst said, go to System Prefs, open International, click on Input Menu, select Keyboard Viewer.

Got it. Sorted.

It's just my luck that the half or dozen or so fonts I tried ALT R with didn't work.

It is ALT R on many. Thanks for your time.......
