      Does anyone know how to put carets over numbers in InDesign CC (Mac)? It’s super easy in every other, non Adobe application I use, but for some reason proving elusive in InDesign. I searched the Glyphs panel thoroughly, but still at am at a loss.

      The only way I know how to do is to key the number, then insert the carat and kern it it back.

      Since a number with a carat isn’t a keystroke, it won’t be found in the glyph panel.

      What other programs is it so super-easy in? I’ve never come across a program or font where carats were over numbers.

        Thanks Dwayne!

        All of my OS X apps, such as Pages, Notepad, etc., allow cats over numbers by typing the number, then hitting command-shift-6. The U.S. Extended keyboard must be selected in preferences.

        Ben–thanks for the heads-up about those other programs.

      There are a number of options based on the technique Dwayne mentioned, including:

        David,

        Outstanding! Thank you! Hopefully I can get the first solution to work for me.
