Pasting From the Character Map

SUMMARY: If you use the Character Map to paste symbols in Windows 95 documents, weird things may happen...

When you paste characters from the Windows 95 Character Map, depending on the Windows application you are using, the current font may change to the one that was copied from the Character Map. This is good if you want to paste specific symbols, but remember to switch back to the original font or the rest of your document may look very strange!
