= SUMMARY =

There are four options for entering a caret as an ASCII character into a printer driver field. A single caret normally signifies that the character following it is a control character. For example, “^[” is the Escape control character. The four suggested options for entering a caret are as follows:


 * 1) “^^” (a double caret)
 * 2) “094” (the decimal value of the caret)
 * 3) “005E” (the hexadecimal value of the caret)
 * 4) “0136” (the octal value of the caret; can be used only in Word 3.x, 4.00, 5.00, and 5.50 in a Character Translation Table)
