interrobang
Somewhere in Wingding 2, using certain keyboard function, I can access or use
it as a form of punctuation. I want to know how to do that, i.e. find and use the interrobang at the end of a sentence.

interrobang
Put the cursor in the document at the end of the sentence. On the Insert
menu, click Symbol. Select the Wingdings 2 font. There are four different interrobangs on the fourth and fifth rows of the display. If you just want to use it once, double-click the symbol you want and then click the Close button. If you plan to use it more often (although I'm not sure why you'd want to), click the Shortcut Key button and assign a shortcut to the symbol.

I've used the "interrobang" in Word 2003 but forgot the specific key
combination that's used while in Wingding 2. So, I know the "interrobang" is in Word 2003, it's merely a matter of finding the specific command interface to work while in Wingding 2. I regret and apologize for my lack of details, but can anyone help with this specific request to find the command (i.e. key combinations) necesary to use "interrobang" while in Word 2003's Wingding 2?

interrobang
Jay: Thank you. This isn't what I wanted--there's another way with the
commands or short cuts already in place, but this will do for now as it's as good a solution as the ones already in place. Thank you.

interrobang
Below is the explanation I was looking for:
You can find an interrobang in Microsoft Word's Fonts. Go to Format; choose Fonts, then Wingdings 2. You'll find 4 different versions of the interrobang. Hit the ` ~ key, the ] } key, and (shift key, then) 6 ^ key, or the - _ key. P.S. Can't print interrobangs here, but there are four according to above and I've tested them. So now we have Jay's suggestion and the one's I've forgotten and just remembered. P.P.S. Thank you all for your help and concerns. Have a nice day.

interrobang
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm. There are four
interrobangs in Wingdings 2: characters 93, 94, 95, and 96. You can assign a shortcut key to any one of them through the Symbol dialog, or you can define an AutoCorrect entry (also through that dialog). -- Suzanne S.

interrobang
I've never used it and I can't imagine anybody making heavy use of the
interrobang. It was someone's bright idea that never caught on and has little real use. Does it matter if it's a little bit awkward to insert? -- Enjoy, Tony "CyberTaz" wrote in message .. . On 10/6/06 11:23 AM, in article , "Mordido" wrote: This isn't what I wanted--there's another way with the commands or short cuts already in place The following is excerpted from the wikipedia link Mary provided in response to your first post: The interrobang is not a standard punctuation mark. Few modern typefaces or fonts include an interrobang among the available characters. It is at Unicode code point U+203D. It can be used in HTML documents with ‽ or ‽, although the second form has poor support in common web browsers. The Interrobang can be used in word processing with the alt code ALT+8253, if you are working in a font that supports the interrobang. Perhaps this is what you are referring to, although, IMHO, Jay's suggestion is far more practical. I have assigned Alt+?, which even an addled old fogy like myself finds hard to forget  HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac |
