Hi Bob,
Thanks for the �. Great! Do you also know how to do umlauts?

Umlauts can be inserted into documents created by almost any programs by
using the number pad on the right of your screen. You press and hold down
the alt key, and then a 4-digit number, and then release the alt key. The
common umlauts are:
0223 for ß, 0228 for ä, 0246 for ö and 0252 for ü. However, you get a whole
lot more than that. It really pays to put that character map device in your
program tray so you can use it for things like @¢©Æ, all from the normal
character set (in this case, Times New Roman).
But then if you switch to wingdings or webdings character set, you can add
things to documents like scissors, boxes, moons, foreign currency signs and
a whole lot more (musical notation, for example.) You cannot simply paste
them into email messages with microsoft outlook; you need to find what you
want in whatever typeface you want with the character map small program,
select the character, then paste it into your email, and then highlight the
pasted character and go up to the menu at the top and choose the correct
character set. In that manner you can add all sorts of things like SF**L"*
( (webdings) and ****:-(** ***** (wingdings). These are just a few
examples of what is possible.
It seems like the more common "extra" characters, like © (alt-169) are the
same in virtually all the regular alphanumeric typefaces. Here's the ® in
several:
®®®® (alt-174)
Have fun! Bob
