Re: Special character creation

January 11, 2000

You can go into Insert ---> Symbol and make a shortcut key for the question

mark. I have not been able to find the combo for that one. I make a lot of

my shortcuts, such as the degree sign in AutoCorrect ( " de " would come up as

the degree symbol). That might be an idea.

Found it, ! Alt 61503......went into Insert ----> Symbol and found the

question mark symbol and clicked on the shortcut key and in the character box

it gives you a code......you can use that code along with the ALT and

vahlah.....you have your character. Cool! glad I looked deeper into

it.....now I gotta new one!

Have a good evening!

Shel-

It is soooo inexpensive your not going to believe it. Go into Help and enter

the word shortcuts and you have it. In Word you have the option in Help to

ask what your looking for. There are 3 Help tabs.....one is the contents,

there's entering a couple of letters of a word, and the last one is entering

the words that you want to find. Your bound to come up with something.

Play around with it....that's how I learned. I have been using Word since

early 1994, and have had 4 upgrades from when I first started and am now

thinking about the Office 2000 thing, although my client does not use that

version of Word....I would need to find out whether they will work together,

which they probably will. Anyway, keep trying different things and see what

you come up with!

Have fun! Carol A

Start, Programs, Accessories, Character Map, Symbol font, check mark is on

the 6th row across/10th character from the right. Highlight the checkmark

and click on copy. Go to the screen you want to post the checkmark and

click on Paste. Hope this helps.

Wow, I must be the village idiot. WHERE did you guys find all this out?!?!?

I'm sorry to sound like the newbie that I am when it comes to Windows, WP,

etc., but is there somewhere you can get all this stuff in print other than

annoying you guys for it?!?! I have NEVER taken a computer course, so I know

nothing of word processing, and even less about how to make this computer do

anything I tell it to do!!! If you guys know where I could get this info

(and preferably somewhere CHEAP), I'd greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks in

advance for ALL your help!!! I've learned a LOT in the last week just from

reading my e-mail!!! You've ALL been a real blessing to me while I'm sitting

here in isolation!! I love the work at home thing, but it's not conducive to

learning very many new tricks when the only thing you have to talk to is a
