Are you entering the 0149 using the Number Pad with it toggled ON? Alt+0149
only works from the NumPad and not from the standard number keys.

Have you got as printer driver installed set as the Windows Default and is
it selected in Word?

I'm running Microsoft Word 2002 with XP...when I open a new or old
document
and then click "Insert", "Symbol" the "Symbol" character map menu opens.
If
I then click any font/subset the symbol is displayed along with its
shortcut
key. If I then click the shortcut key for any symbol....the shortcut menu
opens but it doesn't display the shortcut key nor am I able to change the
shortcut key.

I've tried running repair but it didn't fix the shortcut key problem.
Also,
unable to insert and any symbol using so called displayed shortcut
key....ie
"Bullet" symbol is displayed as ALT + 0149 but it doesn't work.

What do you suggest doing at this point?

Tks,

Tom
