Working with repeated characters

You can control how repeated characters in Japanese text are handled using the Kurikaeshi Moji Shori option in the Paragraph palette. By default, a repeat character mark is substituted for the second character when two identical characters follow one after the other in a body of text. When this option is selected, both characters are displayed if they are separated by a line break.

To use repeated character processing:

1. Using any type tool, select a paragraph of text to which you want to apply repeated character processing. If no text exists, the setting applies to new text typed.
2. If the paragraph options aren't visible in the Paragraph palette, choose Show Options from the Paragraph palette menu.
3. Select the Kurikaeshi Moji Shori option.
