Is there any way that one can create an "i" with a star atop the character
instead of a dot? I've not been able to find a special ASCII character set in
Win XP Pro that includes such a character.

Use a special font?

Special font? Yes, but where would I find such a font?

I'm not really sure - this is a group for Microsoft Publisher, not for
font discussion.

You could try asking nicely in hte the alt.binaries.fonts public
newsgroup, provided you have some form of binary Usenet access.

Thanks. I have just posted such a query in the newsgroup you cited.

If this was a one time deal, I'd combine text and a graphic. The chances of
finding a font that will suit your needs are really slim. It *may* exist but
do you have any idea how many fonts there are out there? Surely you have
better things to do with your time. If not, come over to my house, I'll help
you find something to occupy your idle hands! ;-)

I have TRIED to combine text and a star graphic, but with no success. How
should I go about replacing the dot over the "i" with that graphic?

Don't replace, just lay the graphic on top and group the text box and
graphic.
