[oXygen-user] shortcuts for special characters

[Dot Porter]

Thanks to both James and George for helping me with this. I've gone
ahead and created code templates that pull up the characters
effectively. The space issue is annoying but a great improvement over
having to cut and paste or dig through the character map - and I
needed something to implement right away. If however an "insert
template" is added to oxygen at a later date, I will definitely use
that!

Thanks again,
Dot
