Brian and others ........ many thanks for all the helpful advice.

After some trial and error here is the process from within PhotoShop 6 at
least.

Activate the text tool on the tools pallette

Across the top of the screen appear various text options

In the third option from the left, a pull down menu, select "WP
TypographicSymbols"

While still in text mode, place the cursor on the image and press the number
"8". The copyright symbol appears on the image

Change the pull down menu to the font of one's choice and enter more text

Change from text mode to some other mode.... I go to move or the top right
corner option on the tools pallette

Save the image.

My only problem now is figuring out which alphanumeric characters on the
keyboard produce which typographic symbols on screen! I found that 8 = the
copyright symbol by trial and error.
