Q: "How do you get special symbols up that are not on the keyboard?"
A: "Alt-Codes" - See below for some useful samples: |
|
To obtain an ALT Character: On a windows PC
- Ensure that the Num Lock Light is illuminated
- ( the numeric key section is activated)
- If not then press the NumLock Key
- (On a Laptop look for a Function or "FN" Key, & a symbol of a keypad in the same colour as the function key)
- Press & Hold the Alt key.
- While the Alt key is
held down:
- Type the sequence of numbers (on the numeric
keypad) of the ALT code from the table below.
- Release the Alt
key, and the character will appear.
