How do I get a carat "^" to appear in RTF outputs when that is my ods escape character?

Hi, Easiest would be to change your ODS ESCAPECHAR or, here are some other examples. The bottom line is that if your ESCAPECHAR is the ^, you won't be able to type that character directly. You can use the UNICODE function to get the caret, as shown in #1, but I find the symbol very, very tiny, as opposed to #2 or #3.

Output  shown is HTML, but RTF looks approx the same except title is in header of Word doc.
