A. Not really.
The closest you can come is to turn on the appropriate formatting that accesses the character.
Stylistic sets (available in InDesign CS3 and CS2, for fonts that have them) provide a pretty useful way of doing this.

Genv : about Mind Map
Last year, or last semester i would have said forget the mind map and move onto other things that do click for you.
but, this semester, this year, i want you all to actually learn particular things.
one thing is how to research and organize information.
it's not so easy.
so, the mind map is a beginning to a very complicated aspect of graphic design.
edward tufte is quite well known for his work in the area of information graphics.
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=edward+tufte&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
this is what i had in mind that you all would do:
http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/posters
since most of you did not, i'm not sure where i want to take this now.
give me a week or so to think about it.
the comparison i was making between your book and map is the diagonal aesthetic with the razor edged clumps.
just the look of it.
while the book is on the computer and the map is not, the two have those qualities in common.
or at least that's my take looking at them from this vantage point.
lemme know what you think.
